  • Describe the importance of executive function, life skills, and cognitive enhancement in psychiatric treatment for diminishing shame and facilitating self-efficacy.

  • Explain how a relationship to Community, especially in a digital world, serves as an engine of development bridging the teen and emerging adult years.

Educational Goal

The educational goal of this presentation is to share how integrating neuroscience principles, technologies and techniques into our treatment models can lead to achieving improved outcomes for patients.

Description

This presentation addresses the question of why some emerging adults do not receive sufficient benefit from capable community based PHP and IOP programs. The platform on which treatment takes place often has powerful influence on the depth of the opportunity in treatment. A community integrated model of residential treatment promotes neurobiological activation and deepening of psychotherapeutic engagement. Enhancement of executive function and life skills builds a foundation of core competence which reduces shame, supports self-confidence and hope, creating an architecture that facilitates resilience. When a program functions as a therapeutic community it creates a developmental bridge towar
