Research: Life after a first episode of psychosis
About the opportunity
Researchers at the University of Liverpool are looking for people who have experienced a first episode of psychosis and consider themselves to be in personal recovery.
The research explores how people build meaningful and fulfilling lives while experiencing difficult thoughts, feelings or experiences. This is sometimes called psychological flexibility.
Who can take part?
Participants must:
- Be aged 18 or over.
- Identify as being in personal recovery from a first episode of psychosis.
- Feel able to reflect on and discuss their experiences.
- Be able to speak, read and understand English.
- Be able to understand the study information and give informed consent.
What is involved?
People who express an interest will be invited to a short screening call with Megan Knight, a Trainee Clinical Psychologist, to check their eligibility.
Eligible participants will then be invited to an online interview lasting approximately one hour, using Microsoft Teams.
Accessibility and support
Interview times can be arranged flexibly to accommodate participants’ availability.
