MARYLAND EARLY INTERVENTION PROGRAM
What is early intervention?
It's important to have early identification, evaluation and treatment of adolescents and adults who have started experiencing certain troubling thoughts and or feelings, or exhibiting changes in behavior, such as:
- Hearing and seeing things others do not see or hear;
- Having unusual thoughts or beliefs that appear as strange to themselves or others;
- Feeling fearful or suspicious of others, sometimes including those they usually trust.
There are new programs available to help in Maryland. The Maryland Early Intervention Program (Maryland EIP) has useful resources for individuals, families and providers. Such resources and more can be found HERE. Additionally, new trainings are available for those who work with youth and adults who are at risk for, or experiencing these signs of early psychosis. Providers can view training modules, download informative resources materials, view video tips from experts and explore related links to other organizations and programs. They can be found HERE.
