People tend to know what behavior is expected of them in specific, familiar settings. A script is a person’s knowledge about the sequence of events expected in a specific setting (Schank & Abelson, 1977).

In the restaurant example, the script's features include the props (e.g., tables, menu, food, and money), the roles to be played (e.g., customer and waiter),...

Area of Science:

  • Psychology
  • Sociology
  • Public Health

Background:

  • Minoritized emerging young adults with serious mental illness (YA-SMI) face unique challenges.
  • Social support is vital for recovery but understudied in this population.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To examine the role of social support in the lives of minoritized YA-SMI.
  • To understand their perceptions and experiences of support from various sources.

Main Methods:

  • Convergent mixed-methods study involving 114 YA-SMI (ages 18-34).
  • Quantitative data from surveys and qualitative data from interviews (n=57).

Main Results:

  • 44% relied solely on family support; others used combined or no support.
  • Family history of mental illness correlated with lower support levels.
  • Qualitative themes included support types, source qualities, treatment pathways, and loss.

Conclusions:

  • YA-SMI benefit from diverse support networks.
  • Non-family support, particularly informational, plays a critical role.
  • Findings inform policy, practice, and research for improved YA-SMI support.
