Summary
This study tests a group version of the Feeling Safe Programme, a type of cognitive behavioral therapy for people with schizophrenia or schizoaffective disorder. The goal is to reduce distressing symptoms like paranoia and hallucinations and improve quality of life. Fifty participants will either receive the group therapy plus usual care or just usual care, and researchers will measure changes in symptoms, worry, and well-being.
