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.

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.
Read More +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.
