Thank you, @mentalhealthamerica for the continued support for @studentswithpsychosis. See you there! "People living with schizophrenia/psychosis need to not only break through the glass ceiling in professional fields but also bring their community up with them. I talk with students every day through @studentswithpsychosis, and an often concern that is addressed is whether or not they should disclose their diagnosis or to pursue certain majors. It is difficult to not want to rose tint the answer to this question. Discrimination still happens. We need to change the landscape of the workforce and education system and make sure that our workplaces and classrooms include diversity and accommodate and highlight people who experience psychosis symptoms. When you bring neurodiversity to the table, everyone wins. When you create a mental health-conscious environment, everyone wins. Let's not limit our world to neurotypical solutions; otherwise, the solutions and priorities of our world will remain with a neurotypical bias. We see this bias today reflected in the results of high percentages of our psychosis community being present in the unemployment rate, homelessness rate, dropout rate, the attempt of suicide rate, and suicide rate. Empower people living with psychosis, and you will empower one of the most vulnerable and misunderstood communities along with tackling and creating solutions to some of the world's most prevalent societal concerns of today. Give our community a voice."

GO TEAM 🤩🤩🤩🚀🚀🚀@studentswithpsychosis Guest Speaker Tuesday 8 PM EST - Gillian Corsiatto @gillnyethescienceguy is a 24 year old resident of Alberta, Canada. She was diagnosed with schizophrenia at age 19 after struggling with psychosis and anxiety for years. Not long after the diagnosis did she become involved with the Schizophrenia Society of Alberta where she was employed as a community education presenter. Since then, Gillian has opened up about her story and spoke publicly to classrooms, workplaces, and organizations about schizophrenia. She has been involved with @studentswithpsychosis only for a few months but plans on sticking with it for a long time. Being part of both the Schizophrenia Society of Alberta and Students With Psychosis has been extremely rewarding. Gillian has high praise for both of the groups. Some of Gillian’s favourite things in life are music, theatre, and animals. She has an extensive collection of crystals as well as fidget toys. She is even the author of her own published book! Gillian’s future plans include continuing to spread awareness of psychosis, publish some more writing works, and some day travel to New York to watch a musical on Broadway.
