Study Summary
Many formerly homeless adults with chronic mental illness experience treatment resistant symptoms for which pharmaceutical agents and cognitive behavioral therapy are not effective. Although formerly homeless adults with chronic mental illness typically receive medical and psychiatric services to manage their illness, chronic stress and post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) acquired from homelessness are difficult to resolve and many adults experience relapse that can result in housing loss. Therapeutic touch is a complementary and alternative treatment that has been shown to be effective at reducing stress, anxiety, and pain in a variety of diagnoses including cancer, cardiac disease, chronic pain syndromes, and PTSD in veterans. In this study the investigators aim to determine whether a 30-minute therapeutic touch session combined with a conventional 1-hour psychoeducation group delivered over 6 weeks can more effectively reduce stress compared to conventional psychoeducation alone. The ability to reduce stress levels and maintain emotional equilibrium is critical for this population to manage illness symptoms effectively and stave off the incidence of relapse, rehospitalizations, and housing loss.
