Aim: This qualitative study examined the lived experience of associative stigma for parents of adolescents at clinical high risk for psychosis. A central goal was to empower families to tell their stories and to use the themes that emerge from this narrative data to make recommendations that might support families coping with a loved one being diagnosed with risk for psychosis. Methods: Twelve parents of adolescents diagnosed with the clinical high risk for psychosis syndrome were interviewed using a semi‐structured approach.
