(Yu) Jenny Zhang, MD, assistant professor of Psychiatry and Behavioral Sciences at Northwestern Medicine, discusses the Northwestern Medicine Recovery from Early Psychosis Program (REPP), an initiative for patients 18 to 26 years old who have symptoms of psychosis that significantly impede their ability to lead fulfilling lives. Led by a collaborative team and centered around a ‘whole person’ approach, REPP goes beyond medication management by emphasizing functional assessments, therapy groups and peer support specialists. REPP empowers patients by fostering personal connections, promoting social reconnection and providing resiliency training. As it continues to evolve, the program remains committed to early intervention and comprehensive care to help young adults redefine their experiences and pursue fulfilling lives.Get more information about REPP, or call the program intake number at 312.695.5060.
