We didn’t have mental health advocates in the 1980’s so this is encouraging to me that there are advocates educating the public now.

Does Carlos have a last name? I couldn’t find it. Did not mention medication or I keep overlooking these.

I found a video of him on the link he never mentions the issue of medication with SZ. He emphasizes a community for support.
His name is apparently Carlos Larrauri

Found this on a search for him. He still does not mention medication but emphasis community support.
This is from a interview with him
Until we have the science catch up to where it needs to be to intervene before the first episode or while someone is in a high-risk state, we must focus on shoring up social supports. We often focus on biomedical treatments – necessary interventions, of course – but I think they are often insufficient, and genuine holistic recovery requires more than just medicines. Developing a serious mental illness is often a profound trauma to your psyche. You usually also need therapy, peer support, community integration, and academic and job support to recover and achieve the developmental and functional goals you want.
For so many that are dealing with past or present delusions and psychosis medication is a big issue. Which is why I am wondering why he never mentions the issue of medication with schizophrenia.
