    Our program’s main goals are to:

    • Stabilize symptoms
    • Maintain cognition and functioning
    • Optimize their well-being and daily functioning
    • Foster their talents, skills, relationships, and vocations

    Referred individuals are screened over the phone within 24-48 hours. For those appropriate for the program, an in-person assessment typically occurs within 7-14 business days.

    The initial, customized assessment typically includes the following:

    • Interview and evaluation by a psychiatric expert in early psychosis.
    • Standard physical and neurological examination, and blood work testing to detect possible medical disorders that may produce behavioral symptoms.
    • Review of medical records, prior treatments and responses.
    • Formulation and discussion of treatment and support plan.

    Who we serve

    PERC serves young people age 16-30 who are experiencing symptoms of early psychosis within in the last 24 months and reside in the state of Pennsylvania.
