SocialMind is a mindfulness-based intervention including elements such as radical acceptance, decentering or meditation-techniques. It is designed to target social cognition, defined as the ability to recognize, understand and benefit from social stimuli.

The psychoeducational multicomponent intervention addresses and discuss several aspects of great importance for persons who suffer a first episode of psychosis, such as biased perception and thinking, delusions-related anxiety or the nature of hallucinations. Its aim is to encourage patients to reflect upon their experiences from a critic perspective.
