9.3 Meals, Mindfulness, and Moving Forward (M3): Multimodal Engagement of Young People With First-Episode/Early Psychosis

The Meals, Mindfulness, and Moving Forward (M3) intervention was designed by a multidisciplinary team involving partnership with those with lived experience of FEP. M3 supports young people ’s functional recovery, is intended to improve cardiometabolic status (particularly for those on second-generation antipsychotics), and reduce symptoms. The 3 aims of this study are to: 1) examine program adherence; 2) measure change in metabolic syndrome risk parameters and symptoms; and 3) analy ze qualitatively study participant experience.
