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.
