Aftercare Research Program
Keith H. Nuechterlein, Ph.D., Director

The Aftercare Research Program is an outpatient research clinic at the UCLA NPI that provides clinical care and clinical case management for patients participating in research projects within the UCLA Center for Research on Treatment & Rehabilitation of Psychosis.. The clinic staff members have as their mission the stabilization of patients' symptomatic status; providing individual and group behaviorally oriented therapies; completing ongoing monitoring and documentation of the course of patients' symptoms, social functioning, and work functioning; providing liaison with families and community caregivers; and advocacy and linkage for housing, social services, financial aid, and vocational rehabilitation. The primary mission of the Aftercare Program is to provide a structured and high quality clinical care setting within which clinical research can take place.  A second function of the Aftercare Program is to foster pilot studies by its staff and affiliated investigators that can improve clinic operation and that can make the application of research instruments more effective. A third function is to offer schizophrenia-related research and clinical training to predoctoral and post-doctoral research fellows, psychiatric residents, psychology interns, and other trainees.
