Researchers at the University of Toronto are seeking participants between the ages of 18 and 60 for an online study on therapeutic methods of reducing distress around hearing voices. The study is completely online and participation involves one, 1.5 hour session over Zoom, where study participants complete a set of questionnaires and do a therapeutic exercise with a therapist. This exercise is designed to decrease distress around voices. Participants will receive $30 as compensation.

To participate, you must:

  • be between the ages of 18 and 60
  • be currently experiencing voices
  • be diagnosed with a psychotic disorder (like schizophrenia, schizoaffective disorder, or schizophreniform disorder), OR meet the criteria for an early psychosis program
  • be able to read, write and comprehend English.

There are no geographic restrictions, meaning you can participate no matter where you live.
