About the Study
1 in 5 U.S. adults experience mental illness each year*. But regardless of illness, 100% of us have mental health. This is why there is an ongoing effort to provide quality, nuanced mental health education. This study seeks to understand how that education can best take place in a peer group setting.
​
How It Works
Over a period of 3 months, you will participate in six sessions of 30 to 60 minutes each. Each session will occur roughly two weeks after the previous session. During each session, you will engage in a psychosocial intervention alongside your peers. Before, during, and after the study, you will be asked to complete short evaluations for us to gauge the effectiveness of the intervention. Those who complete the study may become eligible to receive compensation.
