Summary

The goal of this study is to see how well the MyPREP program works to help people to learn how to manage their own mental health condition. The program is delivered with the support of a Peer Support Worker who also has experience living with a mental health condition. Our aim is to get feedback from participants about whether MyPREP is more helpful than ‘usual care’. MyPREP is a program made by members of this research team with the help of people with lived-experience of mental ill-health. MyPREP is a personal recovery plan and supports people to map out the strategies that help to keep people well, manage those ups and downs, move on from a crisis if one comes their way, and make active, meaningful and purposeful plans for now and the future. In this study participants will be guided through the MyPREP program by a ‘Self-Care Champion’ who is a trained Peer Support Worker from One Door Mental Health.

Plain Language Summary

Simplified for easier understanding

Living with a long-term mental health condition like schizophrenia, bipolar disorder, or complex trauma can be challenging, and many people feel overwhelmed trying to manage their own wellbeing. The MyPREP program is a personal recovery planning tool developed with people who have lived experience of mental illness, guided by a trained Peer Support Worker who also understands what it is like to live with these challenges. This study tests whether MyPREP — which helps people map out their coping strategies, manage difficult periods, and make meaningful plans for the future — is more helpful than usual care. Participants are randomly assigned to either begin MyPREP immediately or continue with their usual care, with outcomes measured over time. You may be eligible if you are 18 or older, on the caseload of One Door Mental Health in New South Wales, and identify as having a long-term mental health condition such as schizophrenia, bipolar disorder, major depression, complex PTSD, or personality disorder. People who cannot communicate in English or who lack capacity to consent are not eligible.

Interventions

Over a 3-month period, trained staff called ‘Self-Care Champions’ from One Door Mental Health will support individuals with serious mental health conditions who are accessing their service to work through the MyPREP structured self-management tool. MyPREP consists of different self-management modules each including psychoeducation and activities, which the participant can choose to complete: • Recovery • Psychoeducation • Relapse prevention • Crisis planning • Wellness planning • Goal setting The MyPREP intervention is intended to be flexibly delivered based on the participant’s personal preference in terms of: (1) what components of the intervention are completed based on relevance; (2) the medium in which the intervention is delivered (paper-based; digital; discussion); (3) how the intervention is facilitated (face-to-face; phone; digital conferencing platforms or a combination); (4) the frequency and timing of the support sessions, with sessions being scheduled at a mutually agreed upon time and be held approximately weekly. If MyPREP is delivered on paper, participants will receive a study-specific workbook. If MyPREP is delivered digitally, participants will be supported to register an account on the MyPREP digital platform. If MYPrep is delivered verbally, this will be facilitated by the Self-Care Champion. The intervention is expected to take approximately 12 hours over the three month period, however, this will vary based on the participant's preference and flexible delivery of the intervention. The Self-Care Champions facilitating the delivery of the intervention will be responsible for monitoring progress.
