Coordinated Specialty Care (CSC) is an evidence‐based intervention for individuals experiencing first‐episode psychosis. A team of clinicians and nonclinical specialists deliver CSC based on the principles of shared decision making and aimed at maximizing recovery. Mental Health Block Grant (MHBG) “set‐aside” funding earmarked by Congress in 2014 (and doubled in 2015) boosted implementation of CSC in the U.S. Currently, CSC teams around the country utilize idiosyncratic and patchwork approaches to funding.
