Programs—Early Psychosis Program

Early psychosis services have been established in metropolitan Area Health Services and increasingly in rural NSW. Evidence shows that preventing and intervening early for young people who are developing psychosis can dramatically improve outcomes. Early intervention can lessen disability and disruption to school or work for the young person, lower the risk of relapse, and reduce family disruption and distress.
