Abstract

VRINT has been offering outpatient multidisciplinary care for early psychosis to young adults in the East of Flemish Brabant since 2009 VRINT (Early psychosis intervention team) was founded within the University psychiatric center (UPC) of the Catholic university of Leuven (KU Leuven), on their site in Kortenberg. The intervention team was created in collaboration with various partners in regional healthcare, based on international clinical and scientific developments in the specific field of early psychosis, as well as their own clinical experience in psychosis care. During the last 10 years of VRINT intervention, there has been a significant amount of case studies , with an average of 100 cases, 2 to 3 new patients every week with an average age of 22 years. To ensure a rapid intervention without a waiting list and a guaranteed continuity of care over a sufficiently long period VRINT collaborates closely with various partners in the mental health care landscape and offers specialized, accessible care based on a dimensional, integrative, phase-specific and psychotherapeutic, destigmatizing approach for early psychosis.
