ISPS India
Local group news
ISPS India is a small group of professionals who are striving hard to make the local group successful. This year our focus is on Employability of people suffering from Schizophrenia. On 11th & 12th November we are organizing a seminar on the employability of people suffering from mental illness. In a developing country like India the economic burden increases the burden of illness. The economic stability of the sufferer plays a pivotal role in the prognosis and development of illness. Our aim is to develop a series of seminars and workshops on this theme. We are also involving students in our discussion forum. Regular meetings also help us to know about each others work and research findings.

On 27th & 28th May, 2008 ISPS India had a seminar on behalf of TP & ISPS for two days. Almost 200 people participated in it. The second day discussion which was from ISPS was mainly on coping strategies & handling delusions & hallucinations by the care takers. We discussed very interesting strategies which are practised by different organisation. We are planning to have regular meetings of ISPS there if the officials agree to it. It is one of the most prestigious institutes of Kolkata- Bangur Institute of Neuropsychiatry. We are hoping to get the permission. Many psychiatrist & psychologist have collected the form from our desk to be a member. We are hoping to hear from them very soon.
