The purpose of this study is to pilot test a peer-delivered decision support intervention ("peer decision coaching") designed to enhance decision-making about community participation among young adults with serious mental illness (SMI).

Detailed description

The overarching goal of this study is to pilot test a peer-delivered decision support intervention ("peer decision coaching") designed to enhance decision-making about community participation among young adults with serious mental illnesses (SMI). We will use a single-group, pre-post, convergent mixed methods design to explore implementation and whether and how the intervention impacts decision-making and community participation outcomes. We will aim to recruit 40 participants in this intervention study. This design will enable us to link themes regarding participants' experience of the intervention with quantitative measures of decision-making and community participation.

BEHAVIORAL	Peer decision coaching	Peer Decision Coaching is a brief, personalized intervention grounded in evidence-based decision- and peer support principles. During the intervention, a trained peer specialist supports the young person in identifying a decision related to community participation that they need to make, such as whether to work or go to school, helping them address decision-making needs, and assisting them with developing and implementing a decision-making plan. Ultimately, the intervention aims to support young people in pursuing their community participation interests and goals.
