EARLY DETECTION AND INTERVENTION FOR THE PREVENTION OF PSYCHOSIS PROGRAM (EDIPPP)

The Robert Wood Johnson Foundation funded EDIPPP from 2007 to 2013 in six site locations. EDIPPP sites treated the early warning signs of severe mental illness (schizophrenia, bipolar disorder with psychosis, and major depression with psychosis) in people ages 12 to 25 as part of a rigorous research program. Here is a summary of outcomes and case studies that demonstrate the positive impact that EDIPPP has had on the lives of young people and their families.
