Summary

This trial is testing a new intervention called "Mastering the World of Work" to see if it can help improve employment outcomes for people with psychiatric disabilities who have trouble with things like forming a sense of self and others, and responding to challenges in life. The trial will be conducted with 60 people who are already receiving supported employment services, and will involve assessments at different points over 18 months.

Who is the study for?
This trial is for English-speaking adults over 18 with serious mental illness, including dual diagnosis, who are unemployed but receiving Supported Employment services in Manchester, NH. Participants must be willing to engage via Zoom and consent to audio recordings of sessions.
What is being tested?
The 'Mastering the World of Work' (MWW) intervention is being tested alongside usual Supported Employment services. The study will assess if MWW improves job outcomes for those with psychiatric disabilities and metacognitive deficits through a mix of remote and possibly in-person sessions.
What are the potential side effects?
Since MWW is a psychosocial intervention rather than a medication, it may not have typical medical side effects. However, participants might experience stress or discomfort discussing personal challenges during the program.
