Oaks offers specialized outpatient and community-based support for different needs, including:

  • High-Risk Adolescents and Young Adults
    Clinical High Risk (CHRP)

    For young people ages 10–25 who may be showing early signs or increased risk of psychosis. Support can include therapy, psychiatric care, case management and connections to community resources.
