- Brief Summary
Social cognition impairments, frequently encountered in Serial Mental Illness, reduce the ability to find and to keep a job. Cognitive remediation and social cognition training reduce the impact of cognitive impairments on work outcomes . The purpose of this research is to associate a social cognition training program to vocational rehabilitation in the transition network (transitional Workforce Assistance Facilities and Services) to help people to maintain their jobs and to access to work in an ordinary environment. To support the development of social cognition interventions, additional care (users will retain their usual medical follow-up) will be implemented within the Workforce Assistance Facilities and Services.
This project is part of a strong partnership between the Cognitive remediation network (health sector: rehabilitation centers) and the Transition network (medico-social sector: three Workforce Assistance Facilities and Services having partnerships with rehabilitation centers). This partnership has been experienced previously in the RemedRehab project funded by the 2012 hospital clinical research program (PHRC). This project was recently completed.
