Finding Emotional Empowerment and Lifelong Strength

Bring these to your next appointment. They're a starting point for a shared conversation — not a sign you qualify or a recommendation to enrol.

1. 1This trial seems focused on mental health literacy and attitudes rather than directly treating trauma or substance use — does that kind of educational approach make sense as a starting point for my situation, or should I be looking at more direct treatment options first?
2. 2The study is measuring things like my intentions to seek help and my confidence in doing so — can you help me understand how tracking those kinds of mindset changes might actually translate into real improvements in my day-to-day symptoms?
3. 3Since this trial is listed as Phase NA, which I understand often applies to behavioral or educational interventions, what does that mean for how much we already know about whether this approach is safe and helpful for people with my specific combination of trauma and substance use concerns?
4. 4The trial is tracking things like how many sessions I attend and whether I stay enrolled — can you give me a realistic sense of what the time commitment looks like week to week, and whether that fits with everything else I'm managing right now?
5. 5Are there standard treatments or support programs already proven to help with trauma and substance use that I should consider alongside or instead of this study, so we can weigh my options together?
