Our aim is to service children at risk (with premorbid symptoms and/or problematic behavior) for psychosis related to mood disorders or those with acute or chronic psychosis. We identify those children with Bipolar Type I with psychosis and those with Major Depressive Disorder with psychosis. Our intentions for the future include developing research in the areas of neuroimaging and psychopharmacology.
Psychopharmacology: State of the art and safe choice of medications will be offered. Providing education and collaborations with families is our priority.
Integrated psychotherapy: Specific to psychosis: involves all components of behavior therapy, family therapy, psychoeducation, problem solving, and conflict resolution. This will typically follow a brief period of supportive psychotherapy.
School collaboration and consultation: Helping to understand the child's struggles and strengths and determining the best learning environment
