Using movies and shows with ThinkHumanTV to improve mental resilience

Is this trial a fit for you?

A plain-English reading of the study's rules. Only the study team can confirm whether you qualify.

What this trial studies

Adults receiving long-term care at a community mental health center will attend six weekly 90-minute group viewings of selected Netflix or Disney series or movies. One group will watch with ThinkHumanTV educational content and a discussion leader embedded in the viewing, while a comparison group will watch in a group without the ThinkHumanTV elements. The study compares changes in resilience, emotional awareness, and overall well-being between the two groups. Eligibility focuses on English-speaking adults treated at the center for at least six months, excluding those who are actively manic, actively suicidal, recently substance-dependent, or judged unsafe or inappropriate by clinicians.
