Family peers may boost mental health care engagement
NCT ID NCT06945055
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looks at whether having a trained family peer—someone who has been through similar experiences—can help family members stay engaged in early psychosis care. Researchers will enroll 900 family members or support persons of people receiving coordinated specialty care. The goal is to see if this culturally responsive approach reduces stress and improves participation in services.
