Who it serves

OnTrack Hawaii is a coordinated specialty care clinic for youth and young adults, roughly ages 15 to 24, who are within the first two years of a first episode of psychosis or are experiencing early psychotic symptoms.

How the model works

It uses the coordinated specialty care model, a team-based approach to early assessment and treatment of first-episode psychosis. The program reports being funded by the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration.

Who runs it

OnTrack Hawaii is a partnership between the Hawaii State Department of Health's Child and Adolescent Mental Health and Adult Mental Health Divisions, the University of Hawaii at Manoa Department of Psychology, and the John A. Burns School of Medicine Department of Psychiatry. It was founded in 2015 as Hawaii's first coordinated specialty care clinic for first-episode psychosis.

shrinkiatry context

Coordinated specialty care for first-episode psychosis is the same evidence-based model behind Maine's PIER and Nebraska's ASPIRE, and OnTrack Hawaii is the islands' version, tying together the state health department and the university's psychology and psychiatry programs. Founded in 2015, it was Hawaii's first clinic of its kind. For the Atlas, it anchors the first-episode and coordinated specialty care category in Hawaii, and it's a concrete referral point for a family or clinician who notices early warning signs in a teen or young adult.
