Summary

This trial will adapt an evidence-based social cognitive skills intervention for use with Veterans in a work setting, in order to help them better understand and manage social interactions.

Who is the study for?
This trial is for Veterans at the Minneapolis VA with serious mental illnesses like Schizophrenia, Bipolar Disorder, or PTSD who are motivated to work. They must be outpatients seeking employment within 30 miles of the center and able to understand English well enough to participate in group interventions.
What is being tested?
The study tests a social skills training program called SCIT-WE, designed specifically for Veterans aiming to improve their work-related social interactions. It involves weekly group sessions over 13 weeks, individual homework reviews, and follow-up skill application sessions with an employment specialist.
What are the potential side effects?
Since this intervention focuses on social-cognitive skills training rather than medication or medical procedures, traditional physical side effects are not expected. However, participants may experience stress or discomfort when engaging in new social practices.
