The STEP Learning Collaborative is a public-academic collaboration between The Department of Mental Health and Addiction Services (DMHAS), Department of Children and Families (DCF), and Yale’s STEP Program. Its aim is to maximize the capabilities of all emerging adults with first-episode psychosis. STEP Learning Collaborative partners with agencies across Connecticut to ensure rapid access to evidence-based care.

Activities of this collaborative include an early detection campaign  (Mindmap), workforce development, continuous refinement of care, and sustainable design of a statewide network that can deliver safe, timely and effective pathways to and through care. We advance a population health approach to include all residents of the state, engage all stakeholders across communities, and measure & address disparities in access or treatment outcomes.
