Telecare Early Intervention Program Opens in Ventura County and is Featured in Ventura County STAR
Telecare VIPS is one of Telecare’s newest programs. The early intervention and treatment program provides innovative services for young adults and teens.
Ventura (Early) Intervention Prevention Services, VIPS, is a new program offered by Ventura County Behavioral Health in partnership with Telecare. It is modeled after the nationally recognized Portland Identification and Early Referral (PIER) model and is funded through California’s Mental Health Services Act. ”Research shows that educating the public and community leaders increases the chances that a young person will receive early treatment that can slow the progression of psychosis,” said Barry Boatman, Psy.D., Program Director. “VIPS is actively reaching out to west Ventura County educators, students, families, and community organizations to provide information about early identification and treatment.”
The program was recently featured in the Ventura County Star, “Early intervention program for mental illness gathers steam in Ventura County.”
