The General Hospital Corporation (MGH) was awarded a $976,424 Project Grant from the National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH) under the Mental Health Research Grants (CFDA 93.242) program. The funding supports a randomized controlled trial to evaluate the efficacy of a preventive behavioral intervention called Resilience Training (RT) in reducing psychotic experiences, anxiety, depression, and suicidality among young adults over a two-year period. The project will also investigate the intervention's impact on functional outcomes like academic performance and use of psychiatric crisis services, as well as its effects on emotion reactivity and hippocampal brain function as potential mediating mechanisms. If the preventive efficacy of RT is demonstrated, the study results could enable broad dissemination of the intervention on college campuses, in vocational programs, and other community settings to support young people's mental health and functioning.
