Our clinicians and researchers are an excellent resource for community providers who are hoping to better understand psychosis, enhance risk detection and expand on treatment options. Our staff is highly trained in working with psychotic illness among the adolescent and young adult population. We specialize in the identification and early intervention of APS (Attenuated Psychotic Syndrome). Please contact us for more information or to schedule a presentation for your providers.

Risk Calculator for Clinician Use
The NAPLS consortium, which consists of eight research sites including UCSD’s CARE Program, developed a “risk calculator” to determine an individual’s risk for developing psychosis. This calculator accounts for the individual’s family history, exposure to stressors and trauma, and endorsement of factors that correlate with developing psychosis.
