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.
