Mobilize for Change
The time has come to change the way the world thinks about severe mental illness in adolescents and young adults. Each day we learn more about causes and treatments. Each day we can do more to help adolescents, their families and care providers build healthier, more productive and fulfilling futures.
The Early Detection and Intervention for the Prevention of Psychosis Program (EDIPPP) is changing how we talk about mental illness, how we identify it, how we treat it and how we evolve our entire mental health system. . There are many benefits to an early, holistic treatment approach but to make early detection and treatment a possibility for more young people, the system must change. Together, we can create that change.
We invite you to do your part. Whatever your background, you can help our adolescents and young adults at risk of severe mental illness to achieve their potential.
Only together can we hope to encourage our communities to make the long-term, sustainable mental health improvements we need to stop the progression of severe mental illness in its tracks and make better health possible for our adolescents and young adults.
What can you do to help? Plenty.
