The Portland Identification and Early Referral (PIER) Program is a treatment research program in the Greater Portland area providing assessment and services for young people between the ages of 12 and 25 who are at risk for mental illnesses. PIER also provides education and treatment for young people and their families and conducts research about the effects of early identification in off-setting the progression of mental illness. By getting help early, a person’s chances greatly improve for staying in school, working, maintaining friendships and planning for the future.
