About Us: Therapy for Adults Psychosis

Our Journey and Mission

Therapy for Adults Psychosis (TAP) was founded in 2017 with a vision to bridge the gap in accessible, reliable information about psychosis in adults. Recognizing the lack of comprehensive and unbiased resources available online, we embarked on a mission to empower individuals affected by psychosis and their loved ones.

Since our inception, TAP has grown from a small team of dedicated professionals to a thriving online community. We strive to be the go-to source for evidence-based insights, support, and guidance related to psychosis in adults.

  3. 2019: TAP expanded its reach with the introduction of our weekly podcast, “Psychosis Perspectives,” featuring interviews with experts and individuals living with psychosis.

  4. 2020: The site underwent a significant redesign to enhance user experience and accessibility, ensuring a more inclusive online environment.
