Positive Living is a manualized intervention aimed at increasing the experience of positive emotions for people with schizophrenia. This presentation will provide an overview of the intervention and how it has been adapted from positive psychotherapy. We will discuss the goals of the group, provide a description and example of the activities included in Positive Living, and discuss the logistics of delivering the intervention. Results will be presented from a small pilot study aimed at exploring the implementation of the group in a clinical setting. There will also be updates about a virtual adaptation of the Positive Living intervention aimed at improving the well-being of family members in an early psychosis program.
