The UCLA Aftercare Research Program functions as a combined clinical and research effort housed in the UCLA Department of Psychiatry, with a specialization in aiding people with schizophrenia and related illnesses in the early phases of their condition. For more than 40 years, our committed treatment staff has offered free support to young adult participants, the majority of whom are in their late adolescence or early twenties (eligibility spans ages 18 to 45). Our main objective is to help patients navigate the challenging initial years after psychosis begins, effectively managing their condition and assisting them in regaining their footing.
Early-Stage Schizophrenia Care
The UCLA Aftercare Research Program operates as a unified clinical and research endeavor in the UCLA Department of Psychiatry, concentrating on supporting those with schizophrenia and similar disorders at the onset of their illness. Throughout the last four decades, our expert care team has extended complimentary services to young adults, with most being in their late teens or early twenties (participants aged 18 to 45 are welcome). Our central focus is to provide guidance during the demanding first years post-psychosis onset, effectively addressing symptoms and empowering individuals to rebuild their lives.
