DETECT early psychosis service provides early detection and psychosocial treatments for people experiencing their first episode of psychosis in the early phases of illness. DETECT provides targeted professional and public education to help reduce these delays and evidence-based psychosocial treatments in the early phase to enhance recovery for individuals. Improving access to evidence-based treatments is vital and coupled with reducing long delays in receiving these treatments, early intervention could potentially improve outcomes for those with psychosis.

DETECT presented to the PNA on the importance of intervening early in psychosis on 15/08/12.
