The EEPIC program delivers public education, assessment, and treatment services for individuals experiencing the early stages of psychosis or are in the early stages of their first episode of psychosis.

The SW II works collaboratively with the client, their family and the team to assess, plan, develop, coordinate and provide psychoeducation, treatment, rehabilitation and support.

They are responsible for the overall care coordination and provision of direct addiction and mental health interventions for clients accessing the program with a specialization in clinical and consultative social work (assessment, outreach, treatment, referrals) from a trauma informed lens.
