We’re shining a light on effective mental health treatment for young adults.
Evidence-based,
Recovery-focused
Georgia Light is a Coordinated Specialty Care program for young adults ages 16-30 who have recently begun experiencing unusual thoughts or behaviors; seeing or hearing things that others don’t; and having difficulties in school, at work, or with their relationships.
Program Goals
The goals include early detection of psychosis; rapid access to coordinated, team-based, specialty care; evidence-based, recovery-focused interventions; and youth/young adult-friendly services that emphasize engagement, shared decision making, and person-centered care.
Expected Outcomes
The intended outcomes include a reduction in the duration of untreated symptoms; reduction in unnecessarily hospitalizations; and improved clinical, social, and academic/occupational functioning.
