What this trial studies

This is a non-pharmacological, non-randomized intervention comparing residents in Italian mental health supported accommodation who receive a recovery-oriented program using the Mental Health Recovery Star with residents receiving standard treatment. Over three years, participants will undergo baseline and follow-up clinical assessments, biological sample collection, and real-time digital monitoring of experiences and activity, with follow-ups at six and nine months. The program includes staff training, supervision meetings, and use of the Recovery Star to guide personalized recovery plans. Data collected will include psychosocial measures, activity metrics, ecological momentary assessments, and selected biological markers.
