Program for Risk Evaluation & Prevention (PREP)
Evidence-Based Prevention & Treatment
We are dedicated to advancing knowledge, prevention, and care in early psychosis.
Education
Dr. Adrienne Lapidos has developed a Coursera online course titled "Understanding Psychosis." The course covers four modules including psychosis fundamentals, the history and new directions of mental health services, psychosis and health, as well as trauma-informed care.
The one-week program has a flexible schedule for participants at an intermediate level. It is free for participants to enroll in the course.

Patient Care
The Program for Risk Evaluation & Prevention (PREP) specializes in the early identification and intervention for young people experiencing thinking disorders or emotional disturbances that may indicate an increased risk for psychosis. We recognize the profound impact early intervention can have on outcomes.
Our interdisciplinary team offers comprehensive assessment, personalized referrals, and targeted treatment in a supportive environment. By emphasizing early intervention and continuous support, PREP aims to improve clinical outcomes and promote overall well-being for our patients.

Research
The PREP research team brings together experts from Psychiatry, Psychology, and Pharmacy to conduct advanced research in early psychosis and related conditions such as bipolar disorder and schizophrenia. Our interdisciplinary efforts focus on identifying risk factors, developing innovative preventive treatments, and improving patient outcomes.
Individuals interested in participating in psychiatric research can join the Psychiatry Registry, a secure platform that matches volunteers with study opportunities in the area of mental health. Once enrolled, volunteers may be contacted about new studies and can choose to participate based on eligibility and interest.
