Specific empirically-based therapeutic modalities are used to maximize successful outcomes. If a participant’s long-term goal is employment, he or she can work on skills that are transferable to a vocational setting. Many CAVA clients work or have worked in the past and are either retired or aspire to return to the workplace. CAVA’s therapeutic support aims to reduce incidences of hospitalization and increase quality of life by addressing clinical issues before they erupt into crises.
