Mental Health Services Engagement Program for Young Adults
This study is testing a program called "Just Do You" with added cultural components to help young adults from diverse backgrounds stay connected to their mental health services. The program uses creative arts and a team of a therapist and a peer to address recovery and the benefits of mental health care. The new components, A, B, and C, focus on how your cultural identity, motivations, and community can affect your engagement with services. Researchers want to see if these new components make it easier for young adults (ages 18-34) from racial and ethnic minority groups who are already receiving care at a partner clinic to continue their treatment. The study aims to enroll 80 participants and is currently recruiting.
