shrinkiatry context

Coordinated specialty care is the evidence-based approach to first-episode psychosis, and the states in this Atlas reach it in different ways: New York and Hawaii through named networks like OnTrackNY and OnTrack Hawaii, Texas through a Health and Human Services program delivered by local providers across the state. The model is the same, a team that treats the illness and protects the person's school, work, and relationships at the same time. For the Atlas, it's the Texas first-episode entry, and its open eligibility, including people with no insurance, is worth noting.
