iHOPE - Clinical High Risk (iHOPE-CHR)

Kentucky’s CHRP program goal is to reduce the duration of untreated psychosis in youth and young adults between 12 – 25 years old who are at clinical high risk for psychosis and prevent the secondary disability that usually follows psychosis. Kentucky will increase the ability for the iHOPE Program at LifeSkills to provide evidence based treatment services quickly and effectively by providing additional training and technical assistance to the iHOPE Team and additional staff at LifeSkills as well as expand the outreach and engagement capacity of this program to reach additional referral sources such as schools and primary care physicians within the catchment area. The purpose of the evaluation is to measure the progress of the program and impact on youth outcomes. As such, the evaluation will be both formative and summative in nature.
