Psychosis Intervention Program for Adolescents (APIP)
Our Adolescent Psychosis Intervention Program (APIP) supports teens experiencing symptoms of psychosis through evidence-based treatment methods delivered by a specially trained team of experts.
Mental health specialists and clinicians at Allina Health understand psychosis and its symptoms. Just as important, we know psychosis is treatable. Symptoms of psychosis can include hallucinations, delusional thinking, disorganized thinking or speech, cognitive difficulty, lack of motivation, isolation and difficulty in school or work.
As a therapy team, we partner with individuals and families to set clear treatment goals with the focus on reduction of symptoms.
