FACT Peel+ is a collaborative community treatment program for clients who are approaching discharge from the FACT Peel clinic. FACT Peel is a community based clinic dedicated to the assessment of psychosis in adolescents and young adults. It is an early intervention and treatment program run by the Centre for Addiction and Mental Health (CAMH) aimed at individuals 16-45 years of age who are at risk or experiencing a first episode of psychosis To read about the FACT Peel program, click here.

The + in FACT Peel+ represents three case managers -- two from CMHA/Peel and one from Supportive Housing in Peel. One is a generalist, one an employment specialist and one a housing specialist. Case managers from FACT Peel+ provide ongoing community support that wasn't previously available. The desired outcomes are:

• Individuals and their families are better supported and better educated about their condition
   
• Individuals are connected to appropriate services in the community

Early intervention and treatment is important because many people make a good recovery from a first episode of psychosis and many may never experience another episode.

Referrals to FACT Peel can be made by physicians, community health care workers and agencies, school officials, as well as by individuals and families.
