Summary

This study tested a brief, two-session therapy program for young adults (ages 18-35) who had recently started early psychosis services. The program, adapted from a US-based intervention called 'Just Do You,' aimed to improve treatment engagement and recovery by addressing barriers like negative past healthcare experiences. Researchers enrolled 33 participants from Nova Scotia's Early Psychosis Program and measured changes in engagement, recovery, and stigma. The goal was to see if this short intervention could help high-risk youth stay connected to care and feel better.
