Interventions

Type	Name	Description
BEHAVIORAL	HOPES-I	The program progresses in three steps. First, participants receive a 10-week Basic Skills for Community Living course covering essential skills from each of the five modules to ensure that all participants establish basic competency in a core set of skills. Second, clinicians assess participants' functioning to identify skill areas that warrant additional improvement and engage participants in a shared decision making process to select skill areas to pursue in greater depth. Third, clinicians have weekly 60 minute sessions with participants in community settings for 7 months to provide training and to facilitate and support acquisition of core skills and rehabilitation goals.
