Psychosis Early Detection and Intervention

The Early Detection and Intervention module presents an opportunity for young individuals exhibiting early signs of psychosis to collaborate with mental health care providers to improve access to treatment options. This module also gives young individuals an opportunity to train as peer mentors to support fellow youth exhibiting signs of severe mental illness.

There are several goals to the module, the main priorities being to increase awareness of psychosis and
promote health seeking behavior in young individuals, to collaborate with student counseling staff to
improve access to early treatment options, and to train young individuals to recognize and detect early signs of psychosis among fellow peers and provide peer-based support.

One of the recent projects being worked on is a Community Education & Mentoring Program. You can read more below:
