Psychosis can cause acute distress and confusion in a young person, as well as for their family and friends. For many reasons, there can be a long delay before a young person manages to access appropriate treatment. This delay can significantly impact the development of the skills needed for achieving independent living, having adult relationships and developing careers. Early intervention, with a focus on specialized interventions and recovery, improves outcomes and reduces the negative effects of this condition.
SCEIS supports recovery through early assessment and the development of a comprehensive treatment plan that is patient- and family-centred and recovery-focused, aiming to improve daily functioning for patients. We also provide education and support to family members of patients receiving our services.
The program’s goal is to improve outcomes for young people with psychosis through early identification, intervention and treatment tailored to meet the unique needs of each individual, based on emerging best practices in clinical care and research.
For ongoing care after the initial assessment, we may recommend services closer to home to support youth engagement and access to relevant local resources, as there are early intervention services available across the province.
