EASA is a transitional program, serving people for approximately two years. The program continues to evolve based on feedback, experience and availability of new methods. For example, EASA is now integrating methodology from evidence-based "toolkits" developed by the U.S. Substance Abuse and Mental Health Administration (SAMHSA). Toolkits being implemented by EASA include multi-family groups, illness management and recovery, dual diagnosis treatment (chemical dependency and psychosis), and supported employment.
 
The EASA Technical Assistance Team provides the following services:
  • Community education and public speaking to groups
  • Professional training and consultation
Services are based on practice guidelines developed by the Early Psychosis Prevention and Intervention Center (EPPIC), and best practice guidelines from the United States. The EASA Technical Assistance Team also offers community education, training and technical assistance to individuals and organizations who are committed to providing effective services for young people with psychosis.
