Summary

This study tested an online program called Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) for family members of people who had a first psychotic attack. The goal was to see if it could reduce self-stigma, improve coping with stress, and boost psychological resilience. Forty-one family members took part in eight online sessions over four weeks. The results could point to a helpful way to support families during a difficult time.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) - an online behavioral therapy program
What this could lead to
If it works, this could offer a practical, online therapy to help family members cope better and feel less stigma after a loved one's first psychotic attack.
What could go wrong
This is a small, completed study with only 41 participants, so results may not apply to everyone. The therapy was online, which may not suit all families.
