The non-profit North American Society for Childhood Onset Schizophrenia was established in October 2004 to address the unique needs of COS patients, their families and caregivers. The prognosis for childhood (i.e. before age 13) onset schizophrenics is generally thought to be poor, and we believe that to achieve an optimum outcome a child with COS must be maintained on the most efficacious medicines and, equally important, in a supportive, non-stressful environment. The founding members of NASCOS are parents of COS children. The operating expenses of NASCOS.ORG are currently borne by the Directors of the society which is registered as a non-profit corporation in New Jersey, USA.

Donations to NASCOS will be gratefully received!

Directors of the Society:

Karen Sniezek
