Well they try to get them to socialize (go on outings and do activities) but mainly in the us and canada we just dope them (antipsychotics) and put them on the street these days. There is not enough funding for real rehabilitation.  For people who are threats to themselves and others we use things like token economies in institutions teaching them how to work for things that they want and behave for things that they want.  Outside of the instutition people try to arrange jobs that they can do.  Lost of places sponsor PHD and post docs to research schizophrenia....do a pubmed search for whatever therapeutic techniques you are interested in and write to a few professors about doing graduate school with them...assuming you have an undergraduate degree....if you do not have an undergraduate...you will want to do that first.

Yes there is most communities have centers to help with this, such as groups, hospitials, ect. i would start by contacting a hospital, or contacting your local United Way to see what resources are out there. I know where I live all we have to do is dial 211 for information on Community needs and where to go to get help for these issures.

You could call Dionne Warwick and the Psychic Friends Network but I don't think they take PSYCHOTIC people.\n\nhttp://www.expertpsychics.com/

Hard repetitive work does the trick. \n\nWhen programs teaching patients how to sew, paint or some other repetitive activity was introduced in psychiatric hospitals, psychiatrists noticed an increased improvement among their patients.

To find more special needs adults to test this item out you could contact local "sheltered workshops" and employers who specifically hire mentally challenged adults (Genuardi Markets in my area).  If you want to present your aid to publishers or marketing people, it would help to have tested it out on your target population.\n\nBesides special needs adults who have always needed help you could also look into tthe use of this type of material by occupational therapists and those helping stroke patoents rehab in addition to alzheimers patients.\n\nwhat about contacting university masters or phd students in these fields to see if they could collaborate with you?\noccupational therapy, geriatric medicine, adulthood & aging, special education   I'm sure I'm missing some but you get the idea.

Try looking in the Government Section of your local phone book.  Check for County Mental Health.  Many counties in the Country offer Mental Health Services for eveyone on a 'pay as you can' basis.  Good Luck.

This is not the place to solicit. I suggest you contact local hospitals to find people who would be willing to talk to you.

Here is an article about a psychologist diagnosed with schizophrenia- he also addresses the issues of professionals with mental illness.

There are many community organizations that train convicted felons for the trades.  Also they have companies in line willing to hire properly trained men and women.  I don't know where you live so I can't direct you specifically to a certain one.  Try contacting your local employment office.  Their bulletin boards always have listings for these organizations.

How about a psychiatric nurse?

With that education a job as an outreach counselor sounds in line. Try contacting social services and find out where CPS refers their clients. Many of the organizations that CPS refers their clients to for rehab services are staffed mainly by ex users / offenders. I would think you or whoever would be welcomed with open arms. They like staff that knows both sides of the fence.
