Description
This in-person workshop is available by
invitation only to Texas State Hospital organizations.
CAT is an evidence-based
psychosocial intervention designed to bypass cognitive and motivational
impairments associated with serious mental illness to improve functional
outcomes. CAT interventions include environmental supports such as signs,
checklists, alarms, pill containers, and the organization of belongings to cue
and sequence adaptive behaviors in the individual’s home. The interventions are
individualized based upon a standardized assessment of each person’s needs and
challenges. CAT has been shown to decrease rates of relapse and to improve
multiple functional outcomes.
This is a 2-day workshop consisting of classroom teaching each morning followed
by practicing learned skills each afternoon within the individual’s home.
In-home visits consist of conducting assessments and establishing supports
according to the treatment manual. This training is best suited for field-based
staff who provide regular in-home visits to individuals over a prolonged period
of time.
