Summary

This study tests a new Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) program designed to help parents and caregivers of young people who have experienced psychosis. The program includes four core sessions plus extra modules based on each caregiver's needs. Researchers will check if the program is acceptable and practical, and whether it improves well-being, reduces loneliness, and eases stress. The study involves 60 participants and is currently recruiting.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance: Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) program
What this could lead to: If it works, this could provide a practical, short-term therapy to reduce stress and loneliness for caregivers of people with psychosis.
What could go wrong: This is a small, early feasibility study with only 60 participants, so results may not apply broadly. The therapy is new and may not significantly improve well-being.
