Abstract:
A 2024 conference titled "Early Intervention in Psychosis: Systems & Communities of Care" brought together researchers, clinicians, policy experts, and individuals with lived experience to discuss and guide updates in early intervention (EI) for psychosis in Massachusetts. The first day emphasized the translation of research to practice, highlighting innovative projects such as culturally responsive care models, data-driven quality improvement, and novel applications of machine learning. The second day focused on system-level strategies, including equity in coordinated specialty care, peer-led initiatives, and sustainable financing through team-based billing codes. Lived experience voices were central throughout, emphasizing the importance of mutuality, inclusivity, and responsiveness in care. These proceedings underscore the value of community-engaged strategic planning and cross-sector collaboration in strengthening psychosis care, and reflect a maturing ecosystem of EI services committed to improving access, equity, and long-term outcomes for individuals experiencing psychosis.
