Peer support after a recent hospital stay
Part of Mental health clinical trials.
This trial tests a “critical time intervention” approach with peer support for people with a psychotic disorder soon after leaving psychiatric inpatient care. It may help by providing practical support during a high-risk period for relapse and distress.
