Short title: Let’s Talk 2 Long title: A peer delivered programme for mental health disclosure distress and internalised stigma (Let’s Talk) in comparison to treatment as usual in adults with psychosis: A randomised controlled trial to investigate the efficacy of a peer intervention targeted at stigma related mechanisms.

People who experience psychosis often face stigma and discrimination, which can negatively affect how they consider themselves and their identities. This is referred to as ‘internalising’ stigma. This can cause serious problems with self-esteem, cause depression and anxiety, and lead to withdrawal from others, study or work. This project aims to establish clinical efficacy of a novel peer-delivered support programme called ‘Let’s Talk’ in a multi-site Randomised Controlled Trial for adults with psychosis who experience mental health stigma.
