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.
