Abstract
The purpose of this project is to optimize early detection and early intervention in psychosis, in adolescents and young adults.
The goal is to reduce DUP (Duration of Untreated Psychosis) through the integrated work of trans-disciplinary teams and youthfriendly
(health and social) services. This should lead to a reduction of stigma and an improved accessibility to appropriate care.
The aim we wish to achieve is a reduction of the incidence and prevalence of psychosis in the area covered by the Department of
Mental Health of Trieste.
