Caring for the Carer
Sponsor: University of North Carolina, Chapel Hill
Summary
The purpose of the present study is to investigate the acceptability and feasibility of implementing a novel, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) intervention to caregivers and supporters of individuals who have experienced psychosis, regardless of their relative's engagement in treatment specific to psychosis (i.e., coordinated specialty care (CSC) services). Additionally, the investigators will assess the secondary aim of impact on well-being as a result of the intervention.

Interventions
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy for Caregivers
The intervention includes four "Foundational Sessions" delivered to all participants: Orientation and Engagement, Narrative Exploration, and Goal Setting Sessions at the beginning of treatment, followed by a structured Closing Session at the end of treatment. Beyond the four foundational sessions, caregiver clients complete an additional module based on their top area of need. These modules are called "Core Sessions" and are selected through a collaborative process that draws on caregiver preferences, clinical judgment, and assessment results to ensure treatment is tailored to each caregiver's unique experiences, interests, and goals.
