FORT WASHINGTON, Md. – Early intervention to help young people with first-time psychosis is important, according to mental health providers at NatCon18, the National Council for Behavioral Health annual conference.
That’s why expanding access to coordinated specialty care (CSC) models – recovery-oriented, team-based approaches to helping identify and treat those dealing with first episode psychosis (FEP) – is critical, they said at the conference last week. Experts focused on first episode psychosis, offered practical advice for providers, and described the challenges they experienced in implementing CSC.
