First seen Nov 10, 2025 · Last updated May 13, 2026 · Updated 18 times

Summary

This study tests a new program that combines motivational interviewing and cognitive behavioral therapy, delivered partly through a smartphone app, to help homeless veterans with serious mental illness (like schizophrenia or bipolar disorder) better integrate into their community. Fifty veterans living in a VA residential program will be randomly assigned to either this therapy or a mindfulness program. The main goal is to see if the approach is practical and well-liked, not yet to prove it works.
