The (re)MIND program is an evidence-based treatment that identifies psychosis at the earliest possible point to reduce the impact of psychosis on the individual and their family. (Re)MIND has shown to have dramatic improvement reducing crises, avoiding hospitalizations, improving functional capacity, promoting school/workforce participation, and engaging youth and families. This Amendment No. 5 is retroactive to July 1, 2021 due to prolonged contract and rate negotiations.
