Early Assessment & Support

The Early Assessment & Support Alliance (EASA) team is committed to providing rapid identification, support, assessment and treatment for teenagers and young adults who are experiencing the early signs of psychosis.

EASA provides up to two years of treatment and support for Douglas County young people ages 15 to 25 who have experienced a first episode of psychosis or who have experienced risk symptoms within the last year that are not caused by a medical condition or substance abuse.
