Can a tailored therapy help young people overcome the stigma of psychosis?

This trial tests a modified therapy called NECT-YA, designed for young people aged 15-24 who have recently experienced a first episode of psychosis. The therapy aims to reduce self-stigma and improve how they see themselves, which may help them stay engaged in treatment. Participants receive NECT-YA alongside standard Coordinated Specialty Care, and the study compares this combination to standard care alone. The goal is to see if the adapted therapy is feasible, acceptable, and shows promise in improving treatment engagement and well-being.
