What connection does OASIS have with research?
At OASIS, our mission is to foster successful recovery from early psychosis and to increase public understanding of psychotic disorders. Crucial to our success is our ability to forge productive and mutually beneficial partnerships with researchers in the field of mental health. As we often rely on the work of researchers to guide and inform our clinical decision making, we appreciate the contributions of researchers and in turn strive to support their efforts, whether it be by connecting researchers with interested research participants or by offering clinical support and expertise.
