New treatment option for Severe Mental Disorder
Official title Real-time Experiences, Physical Activity and Biological Outcomes in Personal Recovery Residents (EMPOWER-RES)

What this study is testing
- What it's testing
- The project focuses on patients with severe mental disorders (SMD) residing in Italian mental health supported accommodation (SA). Although the goal of SA is to promote personal recovery - that is, living life to the fullest of one's potential - international literature on this topic is scarce, and traditional treatments in the Italian residential system show limitations in adopting such approaches.
