3 weeks ago
The Early Psychosis Intervention (E.P.I.) program delivers public education, assessment, and treatment services for individuals experiencing the early stages of psychosis, and their families. In the context of mental health, peer support is a beneficially supportive relationship between people who have a lived experience in common.
