Summary

This study is testing a family peer navigator model to help Black/African American families get connected to coordinated specialty care for a loved one showing early signs of psychosis. The navigator provides education, support, and check-ins to encourage initial engagement. The trial will see if this approach is acceptable, feasible, and helpful for families.
