SPOTLIGHT: ProSPECT Program

The Institute’s ProSPECT (Prevention of Symptoms and Psychosis through Education and Cognitive Therapy) program offers specialized services for adolescents and young adults ages 14-25 who may be experiencing changes in their mental health.

ProSPECT offers specialized evaluation, education about mental health and mental health treatment, individual, group and family therapy, and help with school or employment. The goal of ProSPECT is to prevent or delay the onset of a first episode of psychosis and minimize the length of untreated psychosis. Services are available onsite at 1824 Madison Avenue (at 119th Street) and 230 West 17^th Street (between 7th and 8th avenues) in Manhattan.
