Thrive Together OC

What Thrive Together OC does

Thrive Together OC is a Garden Grove, California-based non-profit program operating under fiscal sponsor Charitable Ventures of Orange County. Founded in 2021 and active since 2022, it focuses exclusively on improving outcomes for youth ages 12–25 who are at clinical high risk for psychosis (CHR-P). The organization is co-founded by Jason Schiffman, PhD, and led by Executive Director Raquel Williams, PsyD, LCSW, with an academic partnership with the UCI LEAPS Team anchoring its research and training credibility.

The organization's core offerings include no-cost screening and assessment using the SIPS instrument, clinical consultations and interventions, professional training with continuing-education (CE) credits, community outreach, and the youth-led Zine Initiative for stigma reduction. Services are delivered directly to youth, families, schools, and licensed providers across Orange County. All services are provided at no cost to end users, eliminating any price-based commercial friction in adoption.

The business model is grant-funded rather than revenue-generating in a commercial sense. The OC Health Care Agency serves as the primary institutional funder, and Charitable Ventures of Orange County acts as fiscal sponsor. With approximately 8 employees plus interns, the program operates at the scale of a publicly funded community health initiative rather than a commercial enterprise, and its go-to-market relies on referrals, outreach partnerships with schools and providers, and academic collaboration rather than direct sales.

Broad incumbents

• Child Mind Institute: National nonprofit focused on children's mental health, combining clinical care with research and education for families, schools, and clinicians. Comparable on training-and-education for youth mental health and clinician audience, with overlapping CHR-P-adjacent content and CE programs.
• National Alliance on Mental Illness (NAMI): Nation's largest grassroots mental health organization delivering family education, support groups, and public-education programs paralleling TTOC's family consultations and parent/caregiver support groups. Comparable on family-segment engagement, though broader in scope and donor-funded rather than county-contracted.
• Pacific Clinics: One of California's largest nonprofit behavioral-health providers, offering outpatient mental health, early psychosis, and wraparound services statewide. Comparable on county-contracted mental-health service delivery and youth/family focus, though at much greater scale and broader scope than TTOC.
• Didi Hirsch Mental Health Services: Long-standing Southern California nonprofit operating crisis, suicide prevention, outpatient, and substance-use programs across LA and Orange counties. TTOC's no-cost CHR-P services compete and partner with Didi Hirsch's broader behavioral-health portfolio, serving overlapping youth mental health populations.
• Mental Health America (MHA): National nonprofit advocacy and education organization with affiliates in early-psychosis screening, public awareness, and youth mental health. Comparable as a federally/philanthropically funded awareness-and-screening voice for the CHR-P-adjacent population, though operating at a national rather than regional delivery level.
• Children's Hospital Los Angeles (CHLA) Division of Mental Health: Major pediatric hospital providing outpatient mental health, early-onset psychosis, and family programs in the LA region. Comparable on CHR-P-adjacent clinical care, training of mental-health professionals, and family-facing services in Southern California, though operating under a hospital rather than county-contract nonprofit structure.

Direct peers

• Nationwide NAVIGATE Implementation Sites: NAVIGATE is the leading evidence-based early psychosis intervention model, implemented at multiple university and community-mental-health sites across the U.S. These sites are the closest direct comparables to TTOC because they operate FEP/CHR-P specialty clinics with county or state funding, training, and team-based care models.
• UC Irvine LEAPS Team: The LEAPS (Linking Education and Prevention in Psychosis Spectrum) Team at UC Irvine is TTOC's core academic partner and operates in the same CHR-P niche, providing clinical evaluations, consultation, and outreach via Drs. Schiffman and Martin. Highly comparable on population (youth at risk for psychosis), methodology, and footprint.
