We envision a future in which early detection and prevention dramatically reduce the number of people who develop serious mental illnesses like schizophrenia or bipolar disorder.
Our goal is to stop mental illness in its tracks before it progresses from early warning signs to a crisis. If young people who come to the Hope Team are showing the very earliest warning signs of serious mental illness, we aim to provide evidence-based care for the affected individual and support them and their families.
For young people who do go on to develop a serious mental illness, we aim to create a smooth pathway to more intense treatment, while limiting the disruption to their lives and to their families. We help youth and their families move from crisis to recovery as quickly as possible.
