Brief summary

CapExchange is a psychosocial rehabilitation programme based on reciprocal exchange of capacities and services between service users and their community environment, grounded in the concepts of circular mutuality and micro-social contribution. This pilot feasibility study aims to assess the feasibility and acceptability of the programme within the Psychosocial Rehabilitation Service of the EPSM de la Guadeloupe, across three sites: the Unité Passerelle, the CATTG Doubs, and the UREPS outpatient unit. A sample of 10 to 15 adult service users with a stabilized mental disorder is targeted. The intervention comprises five weekly group sessions of 75 minutes. Primary measures include the Social Contribution Score (SCS) and the Warwick-Edinburgh Mental Well-being Scale (WEMWBS).
