Clear Answers to Louisiana Mental Health (CALM) is a psychosis early detection and community awareness campaign that works in tandem with the Early Psychosis Intervention Clinic New Orleans (EPIC-NOLA). CALM was established in 2016 by grassroots fundraising by the leadership at EPIC-NOLA. International and national evidence shows that in addition to the clinical treatment of first-episode psychosis patients, early detection (ED) is critical to shorten the duration of untreated psychosis and to facilitating recovery. Early detection not only involves outreach to a wide variety of community stakeholders and reducing barriers to care at specialized clinics but also involves public education on what psychosis is and the importance of early intervention.
Help Keep Louisiana CALM
Together, we can build a future where early psychosis is recognized, treated early, and never ignored.
I get anxiety when I think about reality and I have to go to my dream world to regain my sanity.
-- DL, artist and mental health advocate with lived experience of psychosis
