<p>This guide was written for members of the Schizophrenia Program, their families, and
others wanting to know more about schizophrenia and the resources and supports available
to them in the Region of Peel. The manual is organized into five main sections. They are
as follows:</p>
</font>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p align="center"><strong>Living</strong></p>
<p align="center"><strong>Learning</strong></p>
<p align="center"><strong>Working</strong></p>
<p align="center"><strong>Social and Recreational</strong></p>
<p align="center"><strong>Medical and Therapeutic </strong></p>
<p>In each section we have listed the agency, a brief description of what they offer,
their address and telephone number. At the end of this guide there is a telephone
directory for quick easy access of telephone numbers and an index so you can easily find
the resource you are looking for. There is also a glossary for terms and abbreviations
that you may not be familiar with. Further information and referral forms can be obtained

<p></font><strong><font face="default" size="4"><a NAME="_Toc446251598">What is
schizophrenia?</a></font></strong></b><font SIZE="2"></p>
</font>
<p>Schizophrenia is a common mental illness affecting one in one hundred people. Common
characteristics are as follows:</p>
<blockquote>
<p>It is a medical (biological) illness believed to be caused by a biochemical imbalance
in the brain. </p>
<p>It may have multiple causes or even be multiple illnesses. </p>
<p>It usually occurs in persons&#146; late teens or early twenties, but may occur earlier
or later.</p>
<i><b><font FACE="Arial"><p></font><font face="default"><a NAME="_Toc446251599">How is
schizophrenia treated?</a></font></b></i></p>
<p>Schizophrenia is a medical condition, which is treatable but not yet curable.
Currently, it is treated with medications called anti-psychotic agents or neuroleptics. </p>
<i><b><font FACE="Arial"><p></font><font face="default"><a NAME="_Toc446251600">What are
the effects of schizophrenia?</a></font></b></i></p>
<p>Each person experiences schizophrenia differently. When the illness first begins, one
might experience social withdrawal and a decline in functioning. One might also experience
hallucinations, delusions, difficulty thinking, and lack of energy and motivation. These
are all common symptoms of the illness, but not everyone experiences all of them. The
illness is episodic and varies with intensity.</p>
<i><b><font FACE="Arial"><p></font><font face="default"><a NAME="_Toc446251601">Why is it
important to understand schizophrenia?</a></font></b></i></p>
<p>Schizophrenia is one of the most misunderstood illnesses. It is important for you to
educate yourself and your family so that you can make informed decisions about your
treatment and rehabilitation. If you have questions ask your doctor or health care
professional.</p>
<p>There are community services available to teach you about schizophrenia and how to cope
and manage this illness.</p>
<b><font FACE="Arial" SIZE="4"><p></font><strong><font face="default" size="4"><a
NAME="_Toc446251602">The Schizophrenia Program Values and Principles</a></font></strong></b><font
SIZE="2"></p>
</font><p>Psychosocial Rehabilitation was defined by The International Association of
Psychosocial Rehabilitation Services (I.A.P.S.R.S.) Ontario Chapter in 1990, as an
approach that has been developed in response to the particular needs of people with severe
psychiatric disabilities. The goal of psychosocial rehabilitation is to improve an
individual&#146;s quality of life by helping them to take responsibility for their lives
and to function as actively and independently as possible. Emphasis is placed on consumer
empowerment and on consumer choice. This approach is based on a set of principles that are
found in a variety of programs and services. These programs and services are designed to
both strengthen the individual&#146;s skills and to develop supports necessary to help the
individual in the community.</p>
<p>The following is a list of 12 principles The Schizophrenia Program has adapted, and how
we incorporate these principles into The Schizophrenia Program.</p>
<b><font SIZE="2"><p>l. </font>Life is a process of growth and change of which all
individuals are capable.</p>
</b><p>The program helps members to identify and achieve their highest level of function
within living, learning, working, social and medical therapeutic environments</p>
<p><b>2. It is the presence of skills, which will enable individuals to achieve
satisfaction and success in their environment of choice.</b></p>
<p>The program teaches skills to members which in turn strengthens an individual&#146;s
problem-solving capacities and allows members to achieve their goals.</p>
<b><p>3. People have the right and ability to make decisions. </p>
</b><p>The program supports the members&#146; ability to make decisions, both good and
bad, and to grow by their experience of problem-solving.</p>
<b><p>4. All are entitled to equal opportunity within the normal environment.</p>
</b><p>Each member has the right to live, learn, work, socialize and receive medical
treatment in a setting that is supportive, non-restrictive and promotes their maximum
degree of independence.</p>
<b><p>5. Growth is a highly individual process.</b><font SIZE="2"></p>
<p></font>The program respects and accommodates each individual&#146;s growth process.</p>
<b><p>Each individual is a multi dimensional human being for whom there is always hope for
growth and change.</p>
</b><p>The program instills a sense of hope in its members by recognizing each
individual&#146;s unique potential.</p>
<b><p>The rehabilitation process is demystified by working in partnership with program
members.</p>
</b><p>Members are provided with the opportunity to participate in the program&#146;s
development and delivery.</p>
<b><p>Early intervention is essential.</p>
</b><p>Newly diagnosed individuals will be given priority of service.</p>
<b><p>Service is not limited to the individual, but incorporates a broader environmental
responsibility.</p>
</b><p>The program educates and supports the community at large in identifying and
reducing the barriers to normal living.</p>
<b><p>Individuals may require some support throughout their lives in order to achieve
their goals toward maximum growth.</p>
</b><p>Service is provided whenever the program staff and individual jointly identify a
readiness for program involvement.</p>
<b><p>Involvement in some type of meaningful activity as defined by the individual is
essential in the development of independence and self esteem.</p>
</b><p>Opportunities for individuals to identify and engage in meaningful activity within
the program.</p>
<b><p>Strengths and abilities are recognized and developed to enhance independence and
fulfillment.</p>
</b><p>The program helps members recognize and build upon their unique strengths and
abilities.</p>

</font></b></i><p>When in crisis, it is essential to know where to get help quickly. Every
person experiences a crisis situation differently. In some instances, a person may be
experiencing symptoms of their illness, while others may be overwhelmed with feelings of
anxiety, depression, or paranoia. Talk to your doctor, therapist or support worker. The
faster you seek help in a crisis situation, the faster the situation can be resolved. The
following community resources can help you during a time of crisis. All hospitals in Peel
have a crisis team, which are accessible via the emergency department.</p>
