CETCLEVELAND® is a community-based form of Cognitive Enhancement Therapy (CET), an evidence-based practice designed to help people with schizophrenia and related cognitive disorders improve brain and cognitive development, social cognition, and increase vocational capabilities.
The goal of CET is to improve:
- Processing speed/ability to respond to others promptly
- Cognition/thinking (attention, memory, problem-solving)
- Social cognition (the ability to interact wisely with others)
- Meaningful roles (e.g. employment)
- Self-management of mental health and physical health
- Adjustment to and acceptance of disability
Clinicians who become part of CETCLEVELAND® Community of Treatment experience:
- a new therapy tool to increase their knowledge of client cognitive impairments
- improved understanding of the impact of cognitive impairments in daily functioning
