ClinConnect Summary

This clinical trial is exploring a new support program called the Family Peer Navigator, specifically aimed at helping Black families who have a loved one at risk of early psychosis. Psychosis is a mental health condition where a person might have trouble distinguishing between what is real and what isn't. The study will develop and test this program to make sure families can easily access the care they need and engage in specialized treatment early on.

To participate in this trial, you must be at least 18 years old, identify as Black or African American, and have a family member who shows signs that they might be at risk for psychosis. The study is currently looking for participants, and anyone who joins can expect to learn more about available resources, receive guidance, and be part of a supportive community. It’s important to know that family members who do not speak English, cannot understand the consent process, or have already been referred to care services are not eligible for this trial.
