This study doesn't follow the usual testing phases — it may be an observational study or a different type of research.
This study is testing a new support model called the Family Peer Navigator program, designed to help Black and African American families access specialized care for early signs of psychosis. A peer navigator — someone from your own community with lived experience — will work with your family to provide education, support, and help connecting to care. The goal is to make it easier for families to find and stay engaged with these specialized services.
Black families often face barriers to accessing mental health care, including difficulty finding services and navigating the healthcare system. This study aims to test whether having a trained peer from your own community guide your family through the process can increase access to and engagement with specialized early psychosis care.

If you are assigned to the peer navigator group, you will meet with a trained Family Peer Navigator for two initial assessment sessions, four individual education sessions, and six brief check-ins over several months — all designed to help you understand early psychosis and connect with care. If you are in the comparison group, you will receive two education sessions, two brief check-ins, and information about services. Both groups participate for approximately one month or longer, depending on your needs.
