Who we serve

Adults ages 18 to 35 is the most common age for diagnosis. Untreated psychosis can escalate to crisis. People who have this mental health disorder represent a highly vulnerable population who are at increased risk of becoming victims of crime, exploitation, incarceration or even suicide. Treating early psychosis, or first-episode psychosis (FEP), can make a difference in a person’s future.

Symptoms

  • Losing touch with reality
  • Delusions (false beliefs)
  • Hallucinations (seeing or hearing things that others do not see or hear)
  • Incoherent or nonsense speech
  • Behavior that is inappropriate for the situation.

Our experts provide education on:

  • Processing episodes
  • Coping with voices
  • Setting goals
  • Developing relationships
  • Medication management
  • Employment support and linkage to education

Caregivers will also provide family therapy and education in order to support those closest to the client.
