About M3P

The Massachusetts Psychosis Prevention Partnership (M3P) is a group of programs dedicated to improving the mental health and wellness of young people who are at clinical high risk for psychosis (CHR-P) through early identification, prevention, and intervention.

With the support of the National Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA) and the Massachusetts Department of Mental Health (DMH), we provide CHR-p treatment, community education, and specialized support for community members who are likely to interact with youth experiencing CHR-P. M3P strives to ensure behavioral health equity, accessibility, and timeliness of care for all young people experiencing CHR-P in Massachusetts.
