10. Group Lesson Learnts

11. Ideas for Implementing in Indonesia
• In indonesia, there was no service :
- in early condition (early psychotic/EPPIC and ultra high
risk for developing a psychotic spectrum disorder/PACE)
- Specific services for youth : (child and adolescence
psychiatry : for people under 18 years) : what about
people 18-25 years?
good idea to improve the quality of service for youth
• Marzoeki Mahdi Psychiatric hospital : already has
collaboration with education dictrict office and health
district office (child and adolescence program )  satgas
remaja sehat jiwa (mental health task group) : high school
students be trained of mental health to become peer
counselor for their friends
 early detection and referral system : peer – primary care –
psychiatric hospital

12. Ideas of implementing in Indonesia
• Specific treatment for youth, with the lowest
dose at first, so the youth get the benefit with
minimal adverse effect
• Service outreach specific for youth
