Cultural adaptation and preliminary evaluation of the psychosis REACH family intervention in Pakistan
Overview
This paper describes the cultural adaptation of the Psychosis REACH family intervention for delivery in Lahore, Pakistan, resulting in the Ca-REACH model. It reports on a preliminary evaluation involving 40 caregiver-resident dyads, assessing feasibility, acceptability, and clinical outcomes over an eight-session group format. The resource is relevant for clinicians and researchers interested in culturally adapted psychosis interventions in low-resource settings.
