Recovery-Oriented Cognitive Therapy

About the Event: 

The Georgia Recovery-Oriented Cognitive Therapy (CT-R) Initiative expanded the capacity of mental health providers to address the needs of individuals suffering from severe and persistent mental illness.  These individuals have often had numerous negative experiences throughout the course of their lives. These experiences have taught them some unhelpful beliefs about themselves and the world around them. The CT-R protocol gives providers tools to engage individuals and motivate them toward meaningful aspirations.  This webinar introduces attendees to CT-R in Georgia and the strategies that conceptualize, promote, and support recovery in a system of care.

2. Identify the underlying beliefs or thoughts of individuals that impact being active and motivated for change. 

3. Apply tools to motivate individuals with severe mental illness to take action steps towards meaningful aspirations.
