With my memberhip to Schizophrenia Society Canada (SSC)? I receive a quarterly newsletter updating me on important events that are concerned with schizophrenia as well as topics related to our organization.
In this recent volume, Winter 2006, we are informed of this new Clinical Practice Guidelines-Treatment of Schizophrenia produced by the Canadian Psychiatric Association (CPA).
The article talks about the possibility of the CPA and SSC working together to create a plain language version for those who live with schizophrenia and their families.
The PDF file can be found at the bottom of the page under the? resource section on the SSC site.

COVER Charlene Lewin lives in Thornhill with her husband, 3 children, and a golden retriever. She began painting about 5 years ago when she took a painting class with her daughter. She enjoys painting landscapes and still life and experimenting with different textures and materials. Most works are mixed media and include oils and acrylics with items like sand or sea shells to add dimension. She does not currently have a Web site but can be reached at char[AT]lewinlitigation.com. She is happy to e-mail samples of work and can be contacted to do special order pieces.
