For Young People Age 15 – 30
Early Support for Lifelong Impact
WellStone’s FEP program provides three years of evidence-based outpatient care for young people and their families during a critical time.
Early, coordinated care greatly improves long-term recovery. Research shows that FEP programs help reduce symptoms, improve daily functioning, and support success in school, work, and relationships. In Alabama, WellStone’s First Episode Psychosis FEP collaborates with state initiatives and is part of the network of designated FEP programs in the state.
