The funding helped create two evidence-based treatment programs for young people in the early stages of bipolar disorders and those at risk for psychosis, according to an Oct. 31 news release. 

“The collaborative nature of this project has been substantial and significant. I hope it sets a framework for other efforts moving forward,” said Dan Allen, PhD, professor of psychology and lead investigator for the grant programs. 

Nevada is experiencing a mental health crisis with too few providers and treatment options available to meet the demand, according to the release.

At the Becker's 11th Annual IT + Revenue Cycle Conference: The Future of AI & Digital Health, taking place September 14–17 in Chicago, healthcare executives and digital leaders from across the country will come together to explore how AI, interoperability, cybersecurity, and revenue cycle innovation are transforming care delivery, strengthening financial performance, and driving the next era of digital health.
