Since establishing one of the nation's first rural First Episode Psychosis sites at Carey Counseling Center in Northwest Tennessee, Tennessee has become widely known for its success in implementing early psychosis programming. Over the last six years, that success has been built upon by expanding First Episode Psychosis sites across Tennessee, hiring a Statewide Training and Technical Assistance Coordinator, and implementing a Clinical High Risk for Psychosis program in Memphis. In this panel discussion, staff from each of Tennessee's early psychosis sites (five urban, one rural) will give a look behind the curtain at the incredible work they do, the challenges they’ve faced during the COVID-19 pandemic, and the creative ways they have adapted.
Learning Objectives:

  1. Learn about early psychosis programming in Tennessee by direct service providers, including staff from our five First Episode Psychosis (OnTrackTN) sites and one Clinical High Risk for Psychosis site;

  2. Develop a stronger understanding of what it's actually like to work with youth and young adults who are dealing with or are at-risk for psychosis;

  3. Examine the challenges and successes of implementing early psychosis programming, as well as continuing services during the pandemic;

  4. Identify differences in early psychosis programming in a rural area vs urban area.
