CCR Receives National Attention
The Center for Cognition and Recovery (CCR), a
partnership between Planned Lifetime Assistance
Network (PLAN) of Northeast Ohio and Jewish
Family Service Association, is pleased to
announce it has been awarded The Substance Abuse
and Mental Health Services Administration’s
(SAMHSA) 2011 Science and Service Award for
disseminating Cognitive Enhancement Therapy
(CET). This prestigious award recognizes 11
community-based organizations across the country
for “exemplary implementation of evidence-based
interventions shown to prevent and/or treat
mental illnesses.”
“These award winners deserve to be commended for
blazing new trails in providing such
cutting-edge, effective services in their
communities,” said SAMHSA’s Administrator Pamela
S. Hyde, J.D. “Once again communities across the
country have demonstrated prevention works,
treatment is effective and people recover.”
CCR was formed to disseminate CET to local,
regional and national agencies. CET is an
evidence-based practice form of cognitive
remediation that helps people with schizophrenia
and related mental illnesses improve their
processing speed, cognition (attention, memory,
problem solving), social cognition (the ability
to interact wisely with others ) and increase
job preparation. CCR has 11 CET sites in six
states with programs in development in
California, Colorado, Indiana, Tennessee and
Indiana.
“The CCR is deeply honored by this national
recognition. It validates CET as a highly
effective treatment for serious mental illness
and our efforts to disseminate it,” said Ray
Gonzalez, ACSW, Executive Director Center for
Cognition and Recovery.
