CSFP - Behavioural Activation (BA) for Depressive Symptoms in young people with emerging or early psychosis: a pilot study

The project will establish the feasibility of clinician delivered BA as an adjunct to usual care for young people with early or emerging psychosis (YPEEP). The overall objective will be to train eight clinicians in BA using an established online “Professional Certificate in BA for Depression” programme and support them to deliver BA to improve depressive symptoms in YPEEP. We will aim to recruit 60 YPEEP into the study, who will be randomly allocated to either BA treatment in addition to standard care or standard care alone.
