Camden Early Intervention Service (EIS)
-
The Camden Early Intervention Service (EIS) is dedicated to the assessment and management of people who have presented to specialist mental health services with a first episode of psychosis.
We are welcoming as we understand that visiting our service for the first time can be daunting. We aim to give people the best chance of recovery after a first episode of psychosis and to reduce the severity of relapses. We also support and educate carers to involve them in as fully as possible in patients' care.
