  Social isolation is a common problem faced by individuals with serious mental
illness (SMI), and current intervention approaches have limited effectiveness.
This paper presents a blended intervention approach, called mobile Social
Interaction Therapy by Exposure (mSITE), to address social isolation in
individuals with serious mental illness. The approach combines brief in-person
cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) with context-triggered mobile CBT
interventions that are personalized using mobile sensing data. Our approach
targets social behavior and is the first context-aware intervention for
improving social outcomes in serious mental illness.
