WITH Psycho educational group for relatives WITH a participant in the CBT Module

The WITH Module is a psycho educational group meant for people in relationship WITH a participant in the CBT Module.

 

While the CBT Module is intended for young adults experiencing a first episode of psychosis, The WITH Module offers people in contact with these young people ways to better understand the experience lived by the person living a first episode and by relatives.The WITH program comprises 4 sections with a total of 24 group activities animated by 2 therapists. In the past, the CBT Module (Cognitive Behavior Therapy) has been successfully offered to many young people experiencing a first episode of psychosis. We then found that relatives (parents, siblings, friends, spouses) wanted more information about the activities of the CBT Module. This module WITH has been designed specifically for loved ones.

 

Here are the general objectives:

At the end of the WITH module, close family and friends of the individual will be able to:

1. Understand the impact of a first psychotic episode on the person having it as well as on their close family and friends;

2. Accompany and support the young adult through their first psychotic episode;
