• OnTrackNY stories from teens, young adults & families: Through peer-reviewed research, members of the OnTrackNY team have found that person-focused video interventions can reduce public stigma towards individuals with psychosis. As such, the team has developed and continues to develop videos, alongside OnTrackNY participants, graduates & their families, featuring their stories and experiences from their perspective.

The companion manual offers guidance for CSC staff on when and how to use the videos.
