What is Coordinated Specialty Care?

Coordinated Specialty Care (CSC) is an evidence-based model for treating early serious mental illness (ESMI) and first episode psychosis (FEP) in young people ages 15 to 25. Rather than a single provider managing care alone, CSC connects participants with a coordinated team — including therapists, case managers, supported employment and education specialists, and family support — all working toward goals the participant sets for themselves.

Early intervention matters. Research consistently shows that getting the right support quickly after a first episode of psychosis significantly improves long-term outcomes, including reduced hospitalizations and stronger connections to work and education.
