Multiple studies show that, in psychosis, longer delays between symptom onset and treatment are correlated with poorer outcomes across a range of outcomes, including remission. The PREP project was designed to provide early diagnosis and rigorous, evidence-based treatment of schizophrenia for young adults ages 15-24. PREP integrates a number of closely-supervised treatment modalities, including: Strength-Based Care management, McFarland’s Multi-Family Group education and support, educational/vocational assistance, algorithm-based medication management, cognitive behavioral therapy, and computer-based cognitive remediation techniques derived from cutting-edge brain plasticity research. The Felton Institute and UCSF are partnering to closely monitor, document and analyze client outcomes in this innovative and unprecedented treatment program. The PREP collaboration is comprised of FSA-SF, the University of California at San Francisco Prodrome Assessment Research and Treatment program (UCSF PART), and the Mental Health Associations of San Francisco (MHA-SF) and Alameda (MHAAC), who conduct outreach and education. PREP has been in operation since January 2008, and was recently funded by both San Francisco and Alameda County’s Mental Health Services Act Prevention and Early Intervention fund.
