Description
This in-person workshop is available by invitation only to
designated Managed Care Organizations (MCO) and their behavioral health
affiliates.
CAT is an evidence-based psychosocial intervention designed to
bypass cognitive and motivational impairments associated with serious mental
illness in an effort 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.
