Summary
This study tests a 12-session group program called 'Better Together' for young adults with severe mental illness (like schizophrenia, bipolar disorder, or major depression) who are single and want to improve their romantic relationships. The program teaches communication, emotional regulation, and social skills. Researchers will measure changes in relationship skills, quality of life, loneliness, and self-esteem before, after, and three months following the program.

Active substance
Better Together group intervention (behavioral therapy)
What this could lead to
If it works, this could provide a practical, low-cost way to help people with severe mental illness build healthier romantic relationships and reduce loneliness.
What could go wrong
This is a very small early study with only 20 participants, no control group, and no blinding, so results may not be generalizable. The program may not lead to lasting improvements.
