Training & consultation
Mindmap was co-created by the STEP Learning Collaborative, based out of Yale University, and Red Rock Branding. It involves a comprehensive set of communication channels – across both traditional and digital media – to increase awareness, decrease stigma around psychosis, and direct affected individuals and families to care.
We offer free workshops for families and the community to recognize early-warning symptoms. As well as workshops for clinicians, mental health practitioners, and anyone else who interacts regularly with youth and their families to become proactively engaged in referral networks that screen for psychosis.
Mindmap Successfully Reduced the Duration of Untreated Psychosis in the New Haven Area
Duration of Untreated Psychosis (DUP) reduced by >50%
Phone inquiries per year increased by 777%
Number of patients declining treatment decreased by 52%
Expanding our Network & Reach Statewide
Just as New Haven’s STEP clinic received referrals in the earlier stage of the campaign, we now have a network of Local Mental Health Authorities (LMHAs) offering 18 clinical sites across Connecticut.
Combined efforts of an informed community and our expanded referral network will help shorten the time it takes for people experiencing first-episode psychosis to receive care.
