Summary

This trial tests whether adding a 12-session cognitive self-management program to usual supported employment and education services helps young adults with first episode psychosis improve their work and school outcomes. Participants are randomized to receive either standard services alone or standard services plus the program, which teaches strategies for attention, memory, planning, and problem-solving. The study tracks employment and education participation, cognitive function, and confidence in everyday cognitive tasks over 18 months.

Active substance: Thinking Skills for Work-Cognitive Self-Management Program (CSM), a 12-session behavioral intervention
What this could lead to: If effective, this program could offer a practical, non-drug way to help young adults with early psychosis build cognitive skills and achieve their work or school goals.
What could go wrong: This is a small pilot study, so results may not apply broadly. The program's success depends on participant engagement and may not outperform standard services.
