Knowledge and Resources

Research & Publications

Our research program is built on a simple premise: the best evidence comes from real clinical settings, real practitioners, and real people working toward recovery. Our work spans Cognitive Adaptation Training, care transitions, shared decision-making, social cognition, and workforce development with findings that move directly into how we train, how we consult, and how we support systems doing this work every day.

We have published across more than 100 peer-reviewed articles, conference presentations, and practitioner resources developed in collaboration with providers, managed care organizations, and academic partners. Whether you are a clinician looking to ground your practice in evidence, a researcher exploring psychosocial interventions, or a system leader evaluating what works, our publications are designed to be as useful in the field as they are in the literature.
