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 nine-session therapy group called Changing Lives and Changing Outcomes-9 (CLCO-9) for people hospitalized with serious mental illness like depression, bipolar disorder, or psychosis who have current or past legal involvement. The treatment uses cognitive-behavioral therapy, a talk therapy approach that helps people understand how their thoughts, feelings, and actions connect. Researchers want to see if this group therapy is practical to run at the hospital, whether leaders can deliver it well, and whether patients find it helpful.
People with serious mental illness often face involvement with the legal system, and they need targeted support to address both their mental health and their legal concerns. This trial exists to see if a structured group therapy can effectively help this population and whether it can work in a hospital setting.

If you join, you would attend nine group therapy sessions led by hospital staff trained in this approach. The sessions would happen as part of your regular hospital care, and you can continue any other services you are already receiving. The researchers will ask you questions about your satisfaction with the group and how engaged you felt in each session.
