Who We Are:
The Felton (re)MIND® early psychosis program delivers comprehensive treatment grounded in wellness, recovery and resilience to people experiencing early signs and symptoms of a psychotic disorder, as well as providing families the tools to support their loved ones in their recovery process.
Our mission is to transform the treatment and perception of psychosis – and by extension the lives of young people and their families – by intervening early with evidence-based, culturally responsive and rigorous diagnostic assessment and treatment, so that within five years of engaging in services most cases of psychosis are treated to remission.
Our Goals
- Provide outreach and services to identify and treat early signs and symptoms of psychosis
- Prevent psychotic disorders from becoming severe and disabling
- Assist clients to mitigate and cope with symptoms in a way that allows them to achieve their personal life goals
- Reduce rates of suicide, school failure and dropout, emergency hospitalization, unemployment, and incarceration
- Reduce the stigma associated with psychosis
- Ensure that underserved populations have timely access to culturally responsive evidence-based treatment

BEAM serves individuals with the onset of Bipolar spectrum disorder or mood disorder with psychotic features in the past two years.
