Effects of a Peer-facilitated, Recovery-focused Self-illness Management Program for First-episode Psychosis

The Peer-RESIM program will consist of 10 1.5-hour sessions (7-12 day intervals; 4 months), based on the modified CORE program workbook/manual and psychoeducation programmes developed by the research team.

The psychoeducation group (6 subgroups; 10-12 participants per subgroup) will be led by one experienced psychiatric nurse trained in psychiatric rehabilitation and psychoeducation group programmes.

Participants in the TAU group will receive routine community mental healthcare services.
