Open Dialogue is a relational, community-based, response to mental health crisis and ongoing needs, first developed in Tornio, Finland in the 1990s. Interdisciplinary teams, including clinical and, more recently, peer workers engage individuals and their families and social networks from first contact in collaboration and dialogue. Initial data suggest that dialogic approaches maximize shared power and produce some of the best functional recovery outcomes in the world. These results have spurred efforts to expand research and develop these services internationally.

ISPS-US invites you to attend a panel presentation, featuring four eminent leaders from the U.S. and U.K. who will share their dialogic work, research, learnings, challenges and emerging best practices as inspired by Open Dialogue.
