Upcoming Conference: June 2025
The 27th annual Cognitive Remediation in Psychiatry conference will take place virtually on June 6th 2025. We look forward to learning from a stellar group of researchers, clinicians and administrators who will discuss topics germane to the cognitive and social recovery of people with mental illness. Sponsored by Columbia University, Alliance for the Study of Cognitive Disorders, and New York State Office of Mental Health.
Conference History & Scope
Cognitive Remediation in Psychiatry was started in 1998 as a forum for people interested in treating cognitive disorders to present their research and clinical initiatives. Our goal is the education of mental health professionals about cognitive health across the lifespan, how cognitive health challenges can impact everyday functioning, how to provide cognitive remediation to people with a range of mental health conditions and across diverse settings, and the factors that influence a positive response. The ultimate goal of addressing cognitive health is to promote cognitive and social recovery. We welcome you to our family of researchers, clinicians, policymakers and advocates, and hope that through participating you will join the mission of addressing cognitive health in people affected by mental illness.
