Early Psychosis Intervention

Early Psychosis Intervention (EPI) is an online resource designed to help individuals and families understand psychosis, the importance of early intervention, and find information or services on age-appropriate and stage-appropriate treatments. The Dealing with Psychosis Toolkit (DWP) provides information and ideas on how to manage many of the common concerns and decisions individuals with psychosis experience. This toolkit and the information online does not replace treatment by a health professional.

The EPI website is a project of Fraser Health Authority, Interior Health Authority, Northern Health Authority, Vancouver Coastal Health Authority, and Vancouver Island Health Authority.
