The Early Assessment and Support Alliance (EASA) is a statewide network of programs focused on providing rapid identification, support, assessment, and treatment to youth and young adults, ages 12-25 years, who are experiencing early signs of psychosis.

Providing education, community connections, clarifying diagnosis and providing research-based services are essential to the EASA program. EASA is a transdisciplinary program, generally working with youth and families for two years. Our EASA team works collaboratively with participants and offers them a variety of services. 

We work closely with community agencies and collaborate with nursing staff through adult services. Anyone can make a referral to be screened for EASA services, and we provide community education on early psychosis throughout the year. 

Therapeutic services offered through EASA include:

• Mental health assessment
  
• Psychotherapy (individual and family)
  
• Group therapy
• Occupational therapy
  
• Skills training (individual and group)
  
• Psychiatric assessment and medication management
  
• Case management
  
• Consultation
• Peer support services
