Interventions

Virtual Cognitive Behavioural Therapy for Psychosisbehavioral

CBT will be delivered according to an established manual that the PI has previously used successfully for in-person treatment. Treatment will consist of individual sessions with a psychologist employed by the University of Toronto for 1-hour per week for 6-months, or by one of the listed clinical graduate students under his supervision. All treatment will be delivered virtually in the participant's home using the online platform Zoom which is PHIPA/PIPEDA compliant. If participants do not have the technology required for virtual sessions, then a tablet will be loaned to them for the duration of treatment. This treatment will be delivered in addition to usual care and no changes to usual care will be required.
