Interventions

  • CRAFT-EP — BEHAVIORAL
    CRAFT-EP is a behavioral intervention delivered via telehealth with the option for one in-person session (when local guidelines allow in-person care without masks). The coaching session topics include self-care, communication, functional analysis, positive reinforcement, treatment engagement, natural consequences, problem solving, and planning next steps. The intervention is designed for families of individuals experiencing psychosis and substance use who are enrolled or seeking enrollment in early psychosis outpatient services. Participants will be asked to complete assessments at pre-, mid- (approximately week 4), post-intervention, and a follow-up assessment approximately 12 weeks post-intervention.
  • TAU — BEHAVIORAL
    Participants may continue to receive their ongoing treatment, if any, which may include psychosocial and/or pharmacological interventions.
