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 2-day instructor
led training includes classroom teaching each morning followed by
practicing learned skills each afternoon via in-home visits. In-home
visits include conducting assessments and establishing supports
according to the treatment manual. This training is best suited for
field-based staff who provide treatment over a sustained period of time
to individuals diagnosed with a serious and persistent mental health
condition. This course provides an advanced understanding of CAT
treatment. Successful completion of this certification course signifies
competency to provide CAT to those you serve.
