Connecting to a specialized early psychosis program can help individuals find their path to recovery. While there are a growing number of programs in Pennsylvania, not all residents live near an existing First Episode Psychosis (FEP) Center. Visit our Find a Center page to see if there is an FEP program near you.

If there are no FEP Centers in your area, you may find other mental health treatment programs by accessing the SAMHSA National Serious Early Mental Illness Locator tool or the PEPPNET Early Psychosis National Locator tool.
If you or someone you know is experiencing a mental health crisis or is considering suicide, help is available. Reach out to the 988 Suicide and Crisis Lifeline by calling or texting 988 or contact Crisis Text Line by texting PA to 741741.
HeadsUp does not offer clinical services.
There are many reasons why your community may not have an FEP center, including the number of people who live in your county and the types of mental health programs that may already exist. Organizations may not be aware of current opportunities offered by Community Mental Health Services Block Grant funds, or may not be aware of how helpful an FEP center would be for their community.

HeadsUp connects with people and organizations across Pennsylvania to increase awareness of the Community Mental Health Services Block Grant funds, and share information about positive outcomes for individuals and communities who engaged with FEP care. Your feedback will help HeadsUp know where FEP centers are most needed, so we can connect with the right people in the right communities.
HeadsUp promotes personalized, accessible, and effective care for all people in Pennsylvania, and we can’t do it alone! Providing your feedback to HeadsUp may help increase access to specialized early psychosis care in your area.
