This trial is testing Motivation Skills Training (MST), a new weekly group-based program designed to help people with schizophrenia understand and manage their motivation better. The program teaches skills to help you recognize what motivates you and how to use that knowledge to start and stick with important goals—like work, school, or treatment. Researchers believe that by improving motivation skills, people can accomplish more in their daily lives.
People with schizophrenia often struggle with motivation, which is one of the biggest barriers to working, going to school, and staying engaged in treatment. Current medications and therapy don't adequately address this core problem, so researchers developed this new skills-based approach to fill that gap.

You would attend a weekly group meeting where you learn skills to understand and manage your motivation alongside others with similar experiences. The study has two phases: first, researchers will gather feedback from participants about the program, then they will compare the motivation skills training group with a control group that receives weekly healthy behaviors education. Your participation would involve attending these weekly sessions and completing assessments to measure how the training affects your motivation and daily functioning.
