That's a wrap! Thank you to all our fantastic attendees for your enthusiasm and participation in today's event #PRiSM19 @SotonPsych

[PRiSMsoton @PRiSMsoton]

Great group discussions on #Cannabis and #Psychosis, intervention not admission and #EMDR therapy in the final part of the #PRiSM19 event

[Psychology at Soton @SotonPsych]

Great to hear about all the presentations and discussions happening at the @PRiSMsoton #PRiSM19 event between researchers and people with #livedexperience

[PRiSMsoton @PRiSMsoton]

Easy to incorporate these practices into CBT or used in its own. May help broaden CBT focus on emotions as well. #PRiSM19

[PRiSMsoton @PRiSMsoton]

Now @SotonPsych PhD candidate Monica Sood talks about attachment visualisation as a way to support people with psychosis #PRiSM19

[PRiSMsoton @PRiSMsoton]

Audience suggestion that attachment doesn't have to be with another person, it could be a pet, or even a fictional character #PRiSM19

[PRiSMsoton @PRiSMsoton]

Research is planned to screen for early signs of psychosis, monitor people's progress through primary care, and use depression and anxiety interventions to support people, see how effective they are. #PRiSM19

[PRiSMsoton @PRiSMsoton]

Now Tess Maguire is talking about how #primarycare can help people with #psychosis. #PRiSM19

[PRiSMsoton @PRiSMsoton]

Lots of audience support for the idea of self-referral to early intervention services for #psychosis #PRiSM19

[PRiSMsoton @PRiSMsoton]

We need to consider why people are using cannabis and how we can use this information to suggest alternative coping strategies that don't involve cannabis #PRiSM19

[PRiSMsoton @PRiSMsoton]

Next up is @DrTomRichardson on why cannabis can cause paranoia, and asking for suggestions on his new way of explaining it. #PRiSM19

[PRiSMsoton @PRiSMsoton]

Audience comments: we should also consider the social skills of people who are being interviewed and how this might interact with paranoia.
