Help improve functional outcomes for people with mental ill-health.
Orygen is inviting people aged 15 to 65 who are living with a psychotic illness to share their experiences. Participants will be reimbursed for their time.
Orygen, The Centre for Youth Mental Health and The University of Melbourne are researching how people living with psychosis experience social inclusion and social cognition, to better understand how difficulties in social thinking skills may affect social inclusion in both early and late stages of psychosis and in those without lived experience of serious mental ill-health.
Social inclusion means having opportunities to participate in social activities that we like and feeling good about the opportunities that are available to us. Evidence suggests social inclusion can affect a person’s mental health and be affected by a person’s mental health. Sometimes people who have experienced mental ill-health such as psychosis, can have difficulty noticing and processing social prompts in the environment. This can affect their ability to carry out daily activities.

If you’re aged between 15 and 17 and would like to participate you will be asked to provide an email address for a parent or guardian so that they can give consent for you to take part in the study.
