Overview
This study investigates which combinations of support and therapies are helpful for different people experiencing psychosis in order to improve services.
Summary
What is the study about? What are you trying to find out?
The project has three aims:
- To understand and produce clear explanations of how people recover when they experience psychosis. We recognise that recovery is different for different people.
- To produce clear explanations of how services can improve recovery rates and ensure everyone has an equal chance of recovery across different ethnicities.
- To plan how to change services and apply for further funding to make these changes and see if this helps more people recover.
What does taking part involve?
Taking part in this research involves choosing whether you want to do any of the following things:
- Attend an in-person creative workshop about recovery.
- Attend further workshops later in the project.
- Be on a list of people willing to have an hour-long interview.
- Comment on the project using our project email list.
