Summary

Family members/support persons' engagement in mental health services has been linked to reduced burden and stress and improves engagement and outcomes in individuals in the early stages of psychosis. The goal of FAMES is to address low family member/support person engagement in services. FAMES will also address disparities in coordinated specialty care (CSC) by using a culturally responsive family engagement strategy to be delivered by family peers.

Interventions

BEHAVIORAL

FAMES

225 dyads (family member/support persons and individuals receiving services for psychosis) will be recruited over a period of 30 months. Family member/support persons will be connected to a family peer for a period of 12 weeks who will use the cultural formulated interview to develop rapport and identify unique cultural needs which can inform treatment and resource identification. Participants will receive brief contact, family psychoeducation, and be connected to an online family resource group where they can receive additional support from certified peers and other family member/support persons.

BEHAVIORAL

Control

participants will receive 12 weeks of automated communication which contain positive messaging, appointment reminders, links to community resources, and coping skills.
