This study doesn't follow the usual testing phases — it may be an observational study or a different type of research.
This research study is testing a new way to deliver therapy to veterans who have experienced homelessness and have a serious mental illness like schizophrenia or bipolar disorder with psychotic features. The program, called MI-CBTech, combines two proven therapeutic approaches—motivational interviewing and cognitive behavioral therapy—delivered through a smartphone app along with some in-person sessions. The goal is to help veterans build skills for daily living and stay engaged with mental health care as they move into permanent housing.
Many veterans successfully leave homelessness and move into permanent housing, but then struggle with day-to-day functioning and often lose touch with mental health services. Traditional in-person therapy becomes harder once veterans are living in scattered locations across the community. This study exists to see whether smartphone-based therapy can bridge that gap and help veterans stay supported during this difficult transition period.

If you join this study, you will be randomly assigned to one of two groups for 8 weeks. Both groups will receive a combination of in-person therapy sessions and remote sessions through a smartphone app. One group will learn motivational interviewing and cognitive behavioral therapy skills designed to improve daily functioning and community living; the other group will receive supportive therapy and mindfulness training. You will need to be able to access a smartphone or smart device and participate in regular sessions, both in-person and on the app.
