Welcome to SZ Support House

We'd love to meet your family!  

"Why?"  

When a loved one is diagnosed with a schizophrenia spectrum disorder, it is a life-changing event for each family member.  Access to understanding, knowledge, and support throughout your family's recovery journey is imperative.  When you partner with SZ Support House, you are no longer navigating the sudden changes on your own.     

We're glad you're here.

“As well as being one of the worst things that can happen to a human being, schizophrenia can also be one of the richest learning and humanizing experiences life offers.”
