“Mindmap program aims to make psychosis treatment more accessible”
“The Specialized Treatment in Early Psychosis (STEP) clinic at the Connecticut Mental Health Center launched the Mindmap public information campaign a week ago today, which seeks to improve outreach to young adults and bring patients into treatment more quickly. The program is intended to address the issue that, while the onset of many mental illnesses is during early adulthood, patients often only enter treatment later in adulthood, said Vinod Srihari, professor of psychiatry and director of STEP. Social media and community outreach will play a major role in the campaign, aiming to educate the public about psychosis and facilitate the connection of patients with treatment.”
