headspace Early Psychosis offers specialist support to young people aged 12 to 25 who are experiencing, or at increased risk of developing psychosis.
headspace Early Psychosis focuses on early intervention, aiming to prevent disruption in a young person’s life and lessen the duration of untreated psychosis.
The program offers intensive integrated services including case management for young people and their families for up to five years. Families and carers of young people are involved in an equal partnership of care in order to achieve outcomes tailored to their needs and preferences.
