WELCOME to the Aftercare Research Program at the UCLA Semel Institute

The Aftercare Research Program is an outpatient research clinic that provides assessment and treatment and conducts research with people who have recently experienced psychotic symptoms. The Program is designed to aid in the adjustment to life in the community. Our Program psychiatrists provide medication management, and our case managers provide education, psychotherapy, and cognitive training. Our staff also helps our participants in accomplishing goals such as returning to school and/or work.

Our team is comprised of a diverse group of professionals who have had extensive training in helping young adults who have recently become ill with a psychotic disorder. Our staff works as a team to provide the best possible care to our participants. We believe our Program’s strength lies in the comprehensive and individualized treatment we provide to our participants.
