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.
