NCT ID NCT07417904
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jul 30, 2026 · Updated 4 times
Summary
This study tests a new therapy called BRAVE, which uses cognitive behavioral techniques to help young adults (ages 18-30) with early psychosis manage thoughts and behaviors that could lead to violence. All 30 participants will first receive standard care, then add BRAVE therapy. Researchers will check if the therapy is easy to use and if it reduces violence-related behaviors.
