PREP- Alameda County

This PBS presentation describes a model that was launched in Alameda County in the Fall of 2010. EBCRP is very excited to be a partner in this innovative effort designed to detect and treat the early symptoms of psychosis.

Last Friday, EBCRP took over the lanes at Albany Bowl.  It was so refreshing to see the mingling between staff and those we are so fortunate to serve.  The women from Project Pride were boogieing down to the disco music, sometimes with their babies attached in a sling!  The smiles on the faces were so nice to see.  Do we dare mention the dancing that went on between senior FACT staff and a Project Pride supervisor?  Oh my.  Total comedy.

EBCRP will be attending the upcoming Alameda County resource guide event. As a community based organization who serves low income families and individuals, we hope to see other agencies who we may refer clients to. This is event will be held at the San Leandro Marina Community Center at 15301 Wicks Blvd., the 22nd of October from 8:30am-12noon.

PREP (Prevention and Recovery in Early Psychosis)  is currently scheduling free educational presentations that cover useful information about recognizing early warning signs of psychosis.  

For more information, or to schedule a presentation, please call 510-697-7737.

PREP, a new collaboration in Alameda County, is looking for clients. PREP's mission is to transform the treatment of psychosis by intervening early and delivering effective treatment. They assist youth and young adults, ages 16-24, who have experienced a recent onset of psychosis.

On July 20th, our partner, Mental Health Associates, sponsored an event highlighting the kickoff of an amazing new program.
