  • Breaking the Stigma: Understanding and Supporting Psychosis with Dr. Keith Gaynor
    Feb 25 2025

    In our latest episode of Community Conversations, we tackle the stigma and some of the misunderstandings surrounding psychosis with Dr. Keith Gaynor, a clinical psychologist and expert in early intervention. Join us as we explore what it means to experience psychosis, the importance of early intervention, and how we can support those affected. Dr. Gaynor shares, "Psychosis is not defined by what you experience but the impact that experience has on you. Early intervention can make a significant difference."

    He also recounts a personal story: "I once had a colleague who, after losing hours of work due to a computer crash, thought IT was sabotaging her. This is a perfect example of how stress can lead to paranoid thoughts, even in the most rational minds." Let's break down barriers and foster empathy together.

    Tune in and share to spread awareness. #MentalHealth #Psychosis #SJOGCS CommunityConversations #Podcast
