Psychosis\n REACH<\/jats:styled-content>\n (Recovery by Enabling Adult Carers at Home; p\u2010\n REACH<\/jats:styled-content>\n ) is a family intervention for psychosis (\n FIp<\/jats:styled-content>\n ), delivered directly to families by clinicians and peers, that provides both psychoeducation and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy for psychosis (CBT\u2010p) informed skills to family carers. This study aimed to qualitatively explore family participants' experiences of receiving the p\u2010\n REACH<\/jats:styled-content>\n intervention and assess its feasibility and acceptability within an early psychosis service.\n <\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>\n \n Methods<\/jats:title>\n \n Following the p\u2010\n REACH<\/jats:styled-content>\n intervention, all participants were invited to partake in qualitative interviews and analysed using a Reflexive Thematic Analysis approach.\n <\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>\n \n Results<\/jats:title>\n Family carers reported positive experiences with the intervention. Key themes indicated that it helped build (1) internal resources, as participants valued increasing their knowledge and understanding of psychosis and learning skills to support themselves and their loved ones\u2014leading to greater confidence and (2) external resources, as the group\u2010based, peer\u2010supported format enhanced their sense of connection with their loved ones and with other families.<\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>\n \n Conclusions<\/jats:title>\n \n This study demonstrates that the intervention was both feasible and acceptable to participants in an early psychosis setting. It contributes to the growing body of evidence supporting the positive impact of family interventions in psychosis, specifically the teaching of\n CBTp<\/jats:styled-content>\n skills to caregivers of those with early psychosis.\n <\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1111\/eip.70210","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2026,7,3]],"date-time":"2026-07-03T12:46:23Z","timestamp":1783082783000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1002\/crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["A Qualitative Study of Family Experiences of the Peer Supported Family Intervention, Psychosis Recovery by Enabling Adult Carers at Home (Psychosis\n REACH<\/scp>\n ), in an Early Psychosis Clinic"],"prefix":"10.1111","volume":"20","author":[{"given":"Melanie","family":"Lean","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Psychiatry and Behavioral Sciences Stanford University School of Medicine Stanford California USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Katie C.","family":"Benitah","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Psychology, Faculty of Health York University Toronto Ontario Canada"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-9893-372X","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Diane E.","family":"Wakeham","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Psychiatry and Behavioral Sciences Stanford University School of Medicine Stanford California USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Daniel","family":"Virtheim","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Psychiatry and Behavioral Sciences Stanford University School of Medicine Stanford California USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-1047-2952","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Sarah L.","family":"Kopelovich","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Psychiatry and Behavioral Sciences University of Washington Seattle Washington USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Kate","family":"Hardy","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Psychiatry and Behavioral Sciences Stanford University School of Medicine Stanford California USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"311","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2026,7,3]]},"reference":[{"key":"e_1_2_9_2_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1111\/j.1545-5300.1995.00413.x"},{"key":"e_1_2_9_3_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1007\/s00127\u2010013\u20100817\u20105"},{"key":"e_1_2_9_4_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.3389\/fpsyg.2017.00730"},{"key":"e_1_2_9_5_1","first-page":"19","volume-title":"Supporting Research in Counselling and Psychotherapy: Qualitative, Quantitative, and Mixed Methods Research","author":"Braun V.","year":"2023"},{"key":"e_1_2_9_6_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1093\/schbul\/sbi020"},{"key":"e_1_2_9_7_1","volume-title":"StatPearls [Internet]","author":"Calabrese J.","year":"2023"},{"key":"e_1_2_9_8_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.ijnurstu.2009.04.003"},{"key":"e_1_2_9_9_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1111\/eip.12870"},{"key":"e_1_2_9_10_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1007\/s00127-003-0617-4"},{"key":"e_1_2_9_11_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1097\/JCP.0b013e31820597fa"},{"key":"e_1_2_9_12_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.3389\/fpsyt.2023.1138394"},{"key":"e_1_2_9_13_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1177\/0004867413476754"},{"key":"e_1_2_9_14_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1093\/schbul\/sbn171"},{"key":"e_1_2_9_15_1","unstructured":"Heinssen R.
