Early Psychosis Care Center

Missouri’s Early Psychosis Care (EPC) Center is a partnership between the Missouri Department of Mental Health (DMH), the Missouri Institute of Mental Health (MIMH), and the Missouri Behavioral Health Council (MBHC). Our goal is to highlight the importance of early identification and intervention for first episode psychosis (FEP). Both are key for reducing FEP’s effect on individuals, their loved ones, and the community. The EPC Center is working with behavioral health centers across the state to improve the quality of care for individuals experiencing FEP. We use education and outreach to raise awareness. In these efforts we share new research, best practice, trends, and strategies.
