About the Team/Service/ Location
Working in the vibrant and culturally diverse community of South Auckland, our innovative team provides specialised assessment and interventions for young adults (<30 years) who are experiencing a first episode of psychosis.
Whilst the EPIT service primarily provides specialist mental health interventions for those with a first episode of psychosis, we also provide early intervention for those presenting with an At-Risk Mental State and provide consultation and liaison for our primary care partners for those with mild to moderate concerns.
The team has a well-established model of care. It employs a full multi-disciplinary approach, incorporating AOD, Vocational, and Peer-Support specialists within the team alongside senior nursing and allied health roles.
EPIT collaborates with primary healthcare providers and various community-based mental health services to provide both general and specialised knowledge and supervision in early psychosis intervention. The team also organises group programs, including co-facilitated sessions with community mental health services and access to cultural groups, all integral to the EPIT model.
