About this trial
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.
