Overview
Brief Summary
This study aims to provide an evidence-based behavioral intervention to reduce violent behavior for individuals experiencing early psychosis.
Detailed Description
The investigators will conduct an open pilot trial of a behavioral intervention to reduce violent behavior within the OnTrackNY network. The focus of this open pilot is to explore the acceptability and feasibility of the intervention. The study will enroll early intervention service (EIS) clinician - EIS participant dyads. The planned sample size is 3-4 EIS clinicians and 10-16 EIS participants (up to n=16 dyads). This real-world open pilot will provide feedback to help tailor the intervention to the OnTrackNY setting.

Mean Acceptability of Intervention Measure (AIM)
Time Frame: 12 weeks
The AIM is a 4-item measure of the acceptability of the intervention, to be completed by EIS clinicians. Scores range from 1-4 with higher score indicating high acceptability.
Mean Feasibility of Intervention Measure (FIM)
Time Frame: 12 weeks
The FIM is a 4-item measure of the feasibility of the intervention, to be completed by EIS clinicians. Scores range from 1-4 with higher score indicating high feasibility.
Number of EIS Participants in Attendance
Time Frame: 12 weeks
The number of EIS participants that attend the cognitive behavioral therapy sessions.
