A Recovery-Oriented Intervention for People With Psychosis: A Pilot Randomized Controlled Trial

Intersectoral and multisectoral approaches to enable recovery for people with severe mental illness in low- and middle-income countries: A scoping review

“…Recovery models that included task-sharing of services to non-specialist workers were reported in South Africa (Brooke-Sumner et al, 2018 ) and India (Chatterjee et al, 2014 ). A Critical Time Intervention with task-sharing (CTI-TS) was reported in Chile and Brazil, involving psychosocial support during the transition from psychiatric hospital discharge to community settings (Mascayano et al, 2022 ). A case describing a multifamily group intervention based on trialogue, psychosis seminars, and co-learning was described in Bosnia and Herzegovina (Muhić et al, 2022 ), with an NGO-delivered multicomponent intervention for people with SMI and caregivers that included biomedical treatment and supporting economic independence in Nepal (Raja et al, 2012 ).…”

“…In the aforementioned CTI-TS model in South America, lay community mental health workers and peer support workers formed CTI teams that provided structured, time-limited support to people discharged from psychiatric hospitalisation. Working from community mental health centres, a key task in this initiative was to support beneficiaries through linking them to informal and formal support systems in communities (including local leisure clubs and community centres) after which a gradual withdrawal period would take place thereby lessening dependence on the CTI programme or institutional mental health services (Silva et al, 2017 ; Mascayano et al, 2019 ; Mascayano et al, 2022 ). The multifamily support group model in Bosnia and Herzegovina served to mobilise mutual support in community settings (Muhić et al, 2022 ), Two studies described mental health service networks across sectors, that included support for people living with SMI.…”
