Outreach and Support Intervention Services (OASIS)

Coordinated Specialty Care for First Episode Psychosis

We are here to help. Psychosis can sometimes be confusing and overwhelming for young people and their caregivers. There are a few common changes to look out for to help you or your loved one know when to reach out for support, including:

• Changes in thinking, such as having new, unusual beliefs or feeling newly suspicious
• Changes in perceptions, such as hearing, seeing, or feeling things that others don’t
• Having new difficulty focusing, concentrating, remembering, or thinking
• Losing interest in activities you previously enjoyed, such as socializing with friends or other hobbies

For some, these experiences, or similar ones, may feel unusual and even scary, while for others, they may feel positive and even exciting. These experiences might also come and go and change in intensity over time. At their most intense, they can interfere with your ability to engage in the activities and/or relationships that are most important to you.

We have a team to support you and your family. We are a team-based, comprehensive treatment approach designed to support recovery, promote independence, and enhance your quality of life. This approach incorporates medical, psychological, and social support services to address the diverse needs of all our participants.

You can expect first to be listened to, understood, and validated. Expert feedback about treatment options from our team will be given including integrative medicine approaches, individually tailored and evidence-based psychotherapies, family therapy and support services, vocational counseling and employment/education support, and peer support services. You can expect that you and your loved one’s recovery is our highest priority and that you will be an active part of the recovery process.
