We pioneered the California OnTrack programs to test the proposition that more, better, and earlier treatment would yield vastly superior recovery outcomes for young people. The successes that our students have achieved augment the already proven benefits of Coordinated Specialty Care for early psychosis intervention.
We envision a world where mental illness isn’t feared, but understood, and where young people and their families have timely access to proven care, support, and resources.

Our conception of the human “mind” is a manifestation of brain function. In turn, the brain is composed of numerous autonomous, but highly coordinated functional units.
In recent years, there has been a growing concern surrounding the accessibility of specialty care for those suffering from schizophrenia and early psychosis, particularly among young adults and teens.
Bipolar Disorder, once called manic depression, is characterized by unusual and out of character shifts in mood, energy and activity levels, concentration, and the ability to complete daily tasks.
Schizophrenia is a serious mental illness that dramatically disrupts one’s ability to think clearly, participate in daily life, and trust one’s own sense of reality, all of which can persist long-term.
Early psychosis, or a first episode, is the most important time to connect with the right treatment. Doing so can be life-changing and radically alter a person’s future.
