About the Course

Loneliness is an important public health problem with established adverse effects on physical and mental health. Although people with psychosis often experience high levels of loneliness, relatively little is known about the relationship between loneliness and early psychosis. Potential interventions to address loneliness might be easier to implement early in the illness when social networks and social skills may be more intact than at a later stage. This study investigated the views of mental health practitioners about the context and causes of loneliness in people with early psychosis, and about potential interventions.

This course is based on the reading-based online, Loneliness in Early Psychosis: a Qualitative Study Exploring the Views of Mental Health Practitioners in Early Intervention Services created by Theodora Stefanidou, BSc, MSc, et al. in 2021.
