The PRIME screening tool is part of the referral process for the Utah PREP Teams and has 12 questions that the youth or young adult can fill out on their own or have someone else read aloud and document. Utah has five teams statewide ready to help youth and their families identify and diagnose potential psychosis. These teams include members at Weber Human Services covering Weber and Morgan counties, Davis Behavioral Health in Davis County, Volunteers of America in Salt Lake County, Wasatch Behavioral Health for Utah and Wasatch Counties, and Southwest Behavioral Health Center in Iron County. These PREP team members are skilled professionals who can advise clients on how to find treatment and support the management of their symptoms. Their services include: • Referral, screening, assessment and engagement. • Shared decision-making. • Treatment planning. • Therapy, including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy for Psychosis (CBTP). • Case management. • Supported education/employment. • Individual and family psychoeducation. • Peer support. • Occupational therapy. • Medication management and nursing. • Crisis services, transition planning and post‑treatment supports. Other partners aiding in this important work and providing critical resources throughout the state include: • LiveON Utah (by the Utah Suicide Prevention Coalition). » Suicide Prevention Playbook. • SafeUT Crisis Chat and Tip Line. • Youth of Utah Advocacy Coalition. • Students with Psychosis. • Mental Health America: Psychosis. • Schizophrenia and Psychosis Action Alliance. • NAMI: Psychosis. » NAMI Tips for family/friends supporting mental health crises. • SAMHSA: coping for teens and young adults. • NAMI: self-help techniques for coping with mental illness. • SAMHSA: coping skills. • Utah SUMH: Safety planning.
