First Cuyahoga Program

First programs provide comprehensive, team-based treatment aimed at improving the mental health and quality of life for individuals who have experienced a first episode of a schizophrenia spectrum disorder. The goal of the FIRST program is to promote early identification and provide best treatment practices as soon as possible. For this reason, our program is open to Cuyahoga County residents ages 14 to 30 who have had psychotic symptoms for no more than 18 months. This is a ministry of Catholic Diocese of Cleveland.
