Assignment VIII – Online Discussion Copy

Instructions: This assignment involves the participation in an online discussion which is scheduled to occur within a specific date range. Please refer to your course schedule for these dates. During these dates, you are to discuss the following topic via the online discussion board or group blog. Throughout this course, there will be a total of six such discussions. Participation in four of the six discussions is required to complete the course.

Topic: Many individuals with early psychosis have withdrawn from work or school and it can be difficult for them to re-engage with these aspects of their life. When an individual is ready to return to work or school, we would like to see this be a successful and rewarding endeavour. If a person takes on too much too soon, then they may be disappointed in the result and this may negatively impact their self-esteem. What are some strategies and/or supports that may be helpful in helping a person with early psychosis return to work or school? Post your ideas or any real-life examples.

Please keep your postings relatively brief and feel free to make multiple postings on this topic. The idea here is to try to generate discussion on issues related to reintegration. Any such posting on this topic will be granted a point for participation.

You will be able to mark this section complete after you have participated in the associated forum discussion.
