Crisis and Intensive Services: Early Assessment and Support Alliance (EASA)

Early Assessment and Support Alliance (EASA)

EASA serves young people ages 12 to 30, and their families, who have had a first episode of psychosis within the last 12 months or who have been identified to be at higher risk for developing psychosis. The goal of EASA is to identify these individuals as early as possible in order to minimize the negative impact on their lives. There are many different triggers for a first episode of psychosis. Part of our process is to help identify the treatment that is going to be the most supportive to every individual. The Early Assessment and Support Alliance (EASA) are a network of programs and individuals across Oregon who are focused on providing rapid identification, support, assessment and treatment for young people who are experiencing the early signs of psychosis.
