California OnTrack for Teens

Our Coordinated Specialty Care initiative for teens between the ages of 14 and 17, focusing on year-round support after school.

Our program is for teens ages 13 - 17. We offer a coordinated specialty care program for early psychosis intervention. This specialized team-based care program offers:

  • Individual therapy
  • Family psychoeducation
  • Group therapy
  • Supported employment and education
  • Medication management
  • Case management

Participation in the program may include some or all of these services, depending upon clinical need and an individual’s interest in participating.

Group therapy consists of small groups concentrating on the many cognitive and social deficits that are prevalent in teens with continued psychosis.  This care promotes recovery and functioning, enhances quality of life, and educates families.

We teach teens using evidence-based modalities for people with psychosis, including computer-assisted cognitive remediation to improve mental speed and focus, how to test conclusions through metacognitive training, skills for social cognition, as well as individual resilience and distress tolerance skills. 

We collaborate with an individual’s existing care teams without disturbing those trusted relationships. Our teen staff is familiar with school coordination, IEP goals and meetings, as well as appropriate accommodation requests for teens with early and later-stage psychosis. Many of these supports are part of our overall teen case management for all teens participating in our care offerings.

We offer all services in-person and remotely, and family psychoeducation is available virtually to all families with participating teens. Family psychoeducation is provided through a 16-week multifamily course to learn about the illness, recovery, and communication for a healthier long-term relationship. Families are encouraged to attend this 16-week course, as we have found that success is often directly correlated to family participation.

Our California OnTrack for Teens program is designed for youth ages 13–17 who have commercial insurance (i.e., not Medi-Cal).

To help us determine eligibility and provide the most appropriate support, we ask that a brief pre-screening be completed first.
