Narrative Enhancement and Cognitive Therapy for Self-Stigma in Youth

NECT-Y consists of 14 90-minute sessions over the course of 14 weeks. The intervention combines psychoeducation, cognitive therapy, narrative therapy, goal-setting and peer support. Each group meeting includes educational materials, reflections, and active exercises that participants are guided through to personalize the content to their experiences. Participants will be provided with a workbook which allows them to follow the activities easier.

Standard usual care. No study-specific care, but participants will be provided with information on community resources and support, and will also be encouraged to speak to their clinician if they are interested in learning about other services.
