Cognitive Remediation in Supported Employment at Human Service Center (HSC)

Status unconfirmed · Not applicable

Conditions studied: Vocational Rehabilitation, Schizophrenia, Mental Disorders, Cognitive Symptoms

In brief

This project seeks to evaluate the feasibility and effectiveness of combining cognitive remediation and Supported Employment Program (SEP) services to improve work outcomes in people with a serious mental illness who have been unable to benefit from vocational services (i.e., acquire or maintain a job). Cognitive remediation involves treating and improving cognitive impairments, such as memory (e.g., short-term and working memory), attention span, or problem solving skills. It is hypothesized that cognitive remediation will significantly improve peoples' employment outcomes in a supported employment program.
