— Constellation Program —
Constellation is a Brooklyn-based treatment program for young adults experiencing psychosis and extreme states. Through the personalized use of treatment services and the engagement of the individual’s broader network (family, friends, involved community members, and groups), the program aims to render private torment and pain communicable to others, decrease isolation, and help program participants to create a place for themselves in the world.
Constellation services include:
Intensive psychotherapy.
Shared decision-making medication management.
Ongoing dialogic meetings among those the client identifies as being in their network.
Liaison services, accompaniment in the community.
Group psychotherapy (including hearing voices).
Collective projects.
You are free to choose the components of the program you wish to make use of, and this may change and evolve over the course of your treatment. We ask that you initially make contact with your psychotherapist, psychiatrist, or liaison, choose members of your network, and schedule a meeting with the program directors. Meeting regularly with your liaison at the beginning of treatment may be helpful in determining which components of the program will be particularly helpful to you.
— Constellations Open Group —
Coming into contact with psychiatric systems can be an experience that leads to stigma and isolation. But what are commonly perceived as symptoms can be understood as forms of knowledge. This is a group to cultivate that knowledge—to discuss values and beliefs, fear and paranoia, seeing and hearing and noticing things that others do not—and to talk about what has happened, what can happen after, and anything else.
In-person on Monday at 7:15pm. We encourage anyone who is interested in attending to contact Siena Froment.
