Abstract

Treatment of first-episode psychosis (FEP) presents an important opportunity for secondary prevention or early intervention in severe mental illness. Coordinated Specialty Care (CSC), a team-based model of psychosocial interventions and pharmacotherapy, is effective, and SAMHSA is supporting implementation of this model through two grant initiatives for patients ages 15 to 25 years. Maine began a program implementing CSC in 2015. This report presents outcomes and challenges in the first two years of implementing CSC for FEP in a state with limited resources.
