Early Psychosis Program | UC Davis Health | Department of Psychiatry and Behaviopral Sciences

Our unique training and expertise in leading-edge assessment techniques identify at-risk individuals early in their illness and provide comprehensive treatment as the path toward recovery.

Early identification and intervention are necessary steps in reducing the impact of psychosis.

Our family-centered treatment approach empowers individuals and their families to be active participants in care.
