      <title>STEP Learning Collaborative: 2025 Statewide Impact &amp; Year-End Review</title>
      <description>2025 marked a major year of growth, collaboration, and measurable progress for the STEP Learning Collaborative (STEP LC), Connecticut’s statewide learning health system for early psychosis. As we reflect on the second year of implementation since launching in February 2024, we see both expanding reach and deepening engagement across clinical, educational, community, and systems-level workstreams.

In this post, we share key impacts from 2025, alongside broader program activities that shaped the continued development of a coordinated, statewide approach to early psychosis care in Connecticut.

      <title>Understanding Social Disconnect in Psychosis: A New fNIRS Study at Yale</title>
      <description>Psychosis often leads to social withdrawal, isolation, and difficulty forming relationships. Understanding the neural mechanisms behind social disconnection can help researchers develop therapies that address not just the symptoms of psychosis, but also the profound social challenges that come with it. This research marks a significant step toward more empathetic, neuroscience-informed care for individuals living with psychosis. </description>

      <title>Modeling of Demoralization in Breast Cancer</title>
      <description>John M. de Figueiredo, MD, ScD, clinical professor of psychiatry, is senior author of a study that found that in patients with breast cancer who are depressed,
a greater severity of depression is linked to the co-occurrence of demoralization and depression, potentially compounding the risk of suicidal ideation. The authors conclude that early detection and reversal of demoralization and depression are crucial to prevent the co-occurrence of both and possible suicidal ideation. The study was published in Frontiers in Psychiatry.</description>
