Focus Group Participants Needed:
Temple University Collaborative (www.tucollaborative.org) examines community living and participation of people with serious mental illnesses, including employment, education, engagement in faith communities, volunteering, and friend and family relationships.
Family members and other caregivers play a huge role in the lives of people with serious mental illnesses. They believe that it is essential to get their opinions on this important topic. This June, they are hosting three focus groups (over Zoom) where family members can share their thoughts and experiences around their loved ones’ participation in everyday life to help inform training resources and advocacy tools that will be developed from the findings. Participants will receive a $30 e-gift card for their time in the focus group. Click here for more information. For questions or to participate, contact the Collaborative at (215) 204-4330 or participationstudy@temple.edu.
