Summary

This study tests whether a brief, virtual cognitive remediation therapy (called Action-Based Cognitive Remediation) can help young people aged 16-30 with early psychosis reduce their alcohol and cannabis use. The therapy involves 16 sessions over 2 months, focusing on improving thinking skills. Researchers will enroll 50 participants from Nova Scotia and Newfoundland to see if this approach works better than current options.
