Last Thursday, September 19th, we held our September Members Education Event. Led by Dr. Mahesh Menon, the Clinical Lead for the BC Cognitive Remediation Training Advanced Practice, Psychologist at UBC Hospital for the BC Psychosis Program, and Clinical Associate Professor for the Department of Psychiatry at UBC, this session focused on Cognitive Remediation Therapy (CRT).
In October 2021, Dr. Menon previously gave us insight into the therapies that address cognitive losses related to schizophrenia, including cognitive remediation, and he returned last week to give us an update on the first year of the CRT pilot project.
Thank you to everyone who attended this event. Your participation and engagement helped make these sessions meaningful and impactful for our community. We’re grateful to have such a supportive group of members who are committed to learning, sharing, and advocating for mental health awareness, and we hope you enjoyed this session.
