Jones wins award and travels to Italy

During their annual conference in October, Associate Professor Nev Jones was presented with the annual Academic Award by the NGO Students with Psychosis, a group that "empowers student leaders and advocates globally through community-building and collaboration."

Also in October, Jones travelled to Trieste, Italy as part of a delegation of 20 US mental health policy, practice and research leaders supported by the Hilton Foundation and convened by the LA-based non-profit Heart Forward.  The group met with leadership at all levels across Trieste's internationally renowned mental health and social care system, and the World Health Organization's Trieste Mental Health Collaborating Center,  along with immersive visits to key clinical and community sites.  The group will continue to meet through June of 2025 as part of efforts to explore policy and practice adaptations of the Trieste approach in the US.
