At PIER, our participants have told us that it is best to learn about psychosis from those who have lived it.
The videos on this page are of past and current PIER participants. They have agreed to share their experiences in order to help others who might be going through something similar. In the videos, the discuss when they noticed a change in their loved one, what helped, and what keeps them feeling hopeful.
