Detailed Description
The majority of inpatients at Parkwood Institute Mental Health have symptoms of psychosis. In line with Health Quality Ontario standards for the treatment of psychosis, the investigators would like to implement and evaluate cognitive behavioural therapy for psychosis (CBTp) informed groups. The feasibility, acceptability, and preliminary efficacy of CBTp groups for inpatients will be examined. Pragmatically, the investigators propose to undergo training in CBTp, implement empirically-supported CBTp protocols developed for inpatients, track outcomes, and publish our findings. The investigators would also incorporate patient feedback to improve future iterations of the protocol. Such an undertaking would build research capacity in front line staff by encouraging engagement in CBTp group training, survey design, participant screening, data collection, analyses, and dissemination of findings.

Outcome Measures
Primary Outcome Measures
- Clinical Outcomes in Routine Evaluation 10 (CORE-10) [Up to 2 months]
The Clinical Outcomes in Routine Evaluation 10 is a short 10 item easy-to-use assessment measure for common presentations of psychological distress, designed to be used for screening as well as over the course of treatment to track progress. The minimum value is 0, the maximum value is 40, and higher scores indicate a worse outcome.
