Don’t miss your chance to present at #EPION2019: Partners in Practice and Progress

May 1, 2019

Join EPION for our bi-annual two-day conference in Toronto on November 19+20, 2019. The theme of this year’s conference is Partners in Practice and Progress.

For the past 14 years, the Early Psychosis Intervention Ontario Network (EPION) has been the voice of early psychosis intervention (EPI) services in Ontario. EPION’s bi-annual conference is the largest EPI conference in Canada, and brings together researchers, practitioners, individuals with lived experience of psychosis, and family members to share, learn and network together.

We invite you to submit a proposal to present your EPI research or initiatives at EPION’s 2019 Conference in November. Presentation formats include oral presentations, symposia, and poster presentations. Submissions will be accepted until May 21, 2019.
