Understanding and Improving Local Pathways to Care (PTC):
“Pathways are the routes that patients follow through the network, it is what the patient and families experience (e.g., a referral from a PCP to a specialty early psychosis clinic)” (Srihari, et al., 2016)

- Early Detection and Assessment Coordinators (EDACs):
- Each region of the state will have an EDAC who will aim to capture new individuals with early psychosis via a central referral line and connect them to corresponding LMHAs. EDACs will support engagement in care for eligible individuals.
- Mindmap 2.0:
- The STEP LC will utilize a statewide early detection campaign to reduce the Duration of Untreated Psychosis (DUP) across all 5 regions of the state (mindmapct.org)
