Abstract

Mental illnesses are the chronic diseases of young people. By bridging research, practice, and advocacy for early intervention, particularly for first episode psychosis, we can reduce the debilitating outcomes all too common for these illnesses. Our vision for the future is one in which every young person has coverage for the care they need, early in the course of their illness, at a treatment organization that provides a comprehensive array of evidence-based services and supports to help that person navigate the journey into recovery.
