We will share unique considerations, challenges, and adaptations to assessment and treatment strategies for providers working with youth and families experiencing mental illness with psychosis, particularly those from underserved communities. The training will also provide practical guidance regarding general best practices in screening/assessment and treatment of early psychosis and will share recommendations for providing culturally-sensitive, recovery-oriented assessment and care for youth experiencing mental illness including psychosis and their families. Information about the Maryland Early Intervention Program (EIP) will also be reviewed, including the components of the EIP, services provided to the community, and how to connect with the EIP.
