This study doesn't follow the usual testing phases — it may be an observational study or a different type of research.
This trial is testing a support program called Critical Time Intervention-Peer Support (CTI-PS) for people recently discharged from psychiatric hospitals. The program pairs you with trained peer support workers and mental health counselors who help you rebuild connections to your community, family, doctors, and other support systems over 9 months. The goal is to help you feel less vulnerable during this critical transition time and to set you up with lasting support after the program ends.
Many people struggle when they first leave the hospital after a mental health crisis—they can feel isolated and lose track of their care. This trial exists to see whether having dedicated support workers help you reconnect with your community and build a strong support network can prevent setbacks and help you stay stable.

If you join, you would receive your usual mental health care plus the new support program for 9 months. A peer support worker and community mental health worker would meet with you regularly to help you identify what's getting in the way of your recovery, connect you with local services and resources, strengthen your relationships with family and friends, and build your confidence and independence. The workers are trained to support you without becoming your only source of care—instead, they help you develop lasting connections in your community.
