What is First Episode Psychosis?
Recently, there has been an increased interest in the development and delivery of early intervention services for a number of different mental illnesses. In the US, the federal government has increased support for the development of coordinated specialty care treatment teams to improve services for persons with first episode psychosis. NAVIGATE is the only evidenced-based program developed in the US to treat persons with first episode psychosis. In this webinar, practitioners will learn about the treatments included in the NAVIGATE model. Information also will be provided on how to recognize a person with first episode psychosis and some strategies to help engage people in mental health services for the first time.
