Summary

This study tests whether a single, solution-focused talk session can help people who have both a chronic physical disease and mental health issues to engage with mental health services. Researchers will enroll 60 adults from community healthcare settings who are not currently in mental health care. The session uses a structured action plan and a 'miracle question' to help participants identify and work toward a personal goal.

What this could mean

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

Active substance

Single-session solution-focused consultation (a brief talk-based therapy session)

What this could lead to

If it works, this could offer a quick, low-cost way to help people with both chronic physical and mental health problems start getting the mental health support they need.

What could go wrong

This is a very small, early feasibility study with only 60 participants. It tests a single session, so lasting effects are uncertain. Results may not apply to everyone.
