What this Trial Is About
The goal of this clinical trial is to effectively implement virtually-delivered interventions in mental health institutions nationwide to improve the cognitive health of individuals living with schizophrenia. The main objectives are: * To determine the clinical effectiveness of two virtual cognitive health interventions (i.e., Action-Based Cognitive Remediation or MetaCognitive Training). * To evaluate our implementation strategy involving the virtual delivery of cognitive health interventions combined with a digital learning platform to train mental health practitioners. Participants will be assessed for the severity of symptoms, cognitive performance, and overall functioning before and after receiving the intervention. Qualitative interviews will also be conducted with participants and therapists to evaluate the implementation strategies.
