By Theo Gaius

Around 50-70% of people who experience their first episode of psychosis relapse within two years of recovery. Relapse can have significant social and financial consequences for individuals and their families. It can also significantly impact self-esteem and may exacerbate self-stigma. Therefore, managing and minimizing relapse is a critical component of treatment for those experiencing or recovering from psychosis.

The "Relapse Prevention Workbook for Individuals with Psychosis" is designed to help these individuals craft a person-centered plan. This plan assists them in recognizing signs of relapse and taking full responsibility for their health and well-being. The process involves deepening self-awareness, understanding and reflecting on past experiences, developing skills to recognize signs of relapse, and ultimately creating an actionable plan to prevent and manage potential relapses.

The rationale for self-management plans stems from the understanding that increased knowledge about oneself and developing proactive strategies can bolster self-confidence. This empowerment gives individuals greater control over their mental health well-being.

The overarching goal in managing psychosis is to enhance an individual's functional capacity with a primary emphasis on social and vocational aspects. An effective relapse prevention plan should pinpoint and leverage individual strengths and weaknesses to uphold social and occupational roles.

The workbook consists of two sections. The first section guides users in crafting a person-centered relapse prevention plan. The second section delves into the intricacies of psychosis, various treatment options, potential challenges, and self-management techniques. This part also addresses ways to support individuals in the midst of, or recovering from, psychosis.
