Early Psychosis Intervention Center (EPICenter)

EPICenter is an outpatient program providing coordinated specialty care to people with early onset psychotic spectrum disorders. Founded in 2010, EPICenter is one of the leading First Episode Psychosis (FEP) programs in the country.

The Importance of Early Intervention

Reducing the duration of untreated psychosis is critical because early treatment often means a better recovery. Early intervention can increase a person’s ability to stay in school or remain employed and reduces their risk of self-harm and hospitalization. View a flyer about our center
