Primary outcomePrimary: Multnomah Community Ability Scale - Participant Interview Based — 65.45; 67.83; 64.66 Total Score
Summary
The investigators propose to examine the effectiveness of a brief intervention that might better facilitate the transition into the community for people with schizophrenia or bipolar disorder with psychotic features. The intervention is called the Welcome Basket. It involves Peer Support Workers connecting with and supporting hospitalized individuals in the days before discharge and again in the community in the first month immediately following discharge. The investigators will compare the outcomes of discharge from hospital as usual with the full version of the welcome basket and a preliminary test of an abbreviated 2 visit version of the intervention.

Eligibility Criteria
Inclusion Criteria
- Participants will be adults, 18 years of age or older, with a chart diagnosis of a schizophrenia spectrum mental illness or bipolar disorder with psychotic features confirmed by Module B (psychotic symptoms) of the Structured Clinical Interview for DSM-5 (SCID-5) (First, William, Karg, & Spitzer, 2015). All participants will be on CAMH inpatient units at the time of recruitment and will have been in continuous inpatient care for close to or more than 2 weeks. This timeframe is guided by the rationale and experience indicating that an overly brief period of hospitalization circumscribes the relevance of the intervention.
- Participants will be returning to places of residence in the Greater Toronto Area (catchment of CAMH) or can travel to the GTA if they will reside outside the catchment area.
- Participants must have been referred to outpatient case management.
- Proposed housing arrangements must be stable and conducive to the intervention. If homelessness or emergency shelter residence appears likely, or boarding home policy precludes any external staff from entering the premises, such individuals will be excluded.
- Proficiency in English.
Exclusion criteria
- Do not meet the above criteria.
