Welcome to your home for information on Narrative Enhancement and Cognitive Therapy (NECT)! Originally developed with support from the US National Institutes of Health, NECT is a manualized group-based psychosocial intervention that is directed towards helping people who have been labelled with a psychiatric diagnosis recover their sense of value and decrease internalized/self-stigma. It relies heavily on psychoeducation, cognitive behavioral techniques, and personal story-telling, or “narrative enhancement” exercises. It is supported by findings from 3 independent randomized controlled-trials.

NECT has generated interest around the globe and has been translated into several languages and adapted and studied in several countries. The purpose of this website it to provide a “one-stop” (and free) resource for information on NECT.
