Summary

This study tested a program called Recovery Bridge, where trained peer specialists help people leaving a psychiatric hospital adjust to life back in the community. The goal was to see if the program is practical and acceptable, and to explore whether it can reduce hospital readmissions and improve quality of life. Fifteen veterans took part, and the results will guide future larger studies.
