First seen May 19, 2026 · Last updated May 22, 2026 · Updated 2 times

Summary

This study tested whether virtual peer support groups, co-led by a mental health clinician and a fellow veteran, could help veterans with serious mental illness (like schizophrenia or bipolar with psychosis) feel more socially connected and less distressed by their symptoms. 28 veterans took part in the "Veteran Voices and Visions" program. The goal was to reduce distress from hallucinations and improve daily functioning in work, home, and relationships.
