Psychiatric Rehabilitation

Psychiatric Rehabilitation
Psychiatric Rehabilitation Program works to assist individuals living with

mental illness to reach a higher level of independence.
Psychiatric rehabilitation promotes recovery, full community integration,

and improved quality of life for persons who have been diagnosed with any
mental health condition that seriously impairs their ability to lead meaningful
lives.
Psychosocial rehabilitation is not a technique. It is a strategy operating at the

interface between the individual, its interpersonal network and the wider social
context.
The standpoint of psychosocial rehabilitation has to be humanistic,

not humanitarian. The humanistic approach blends together an ethical
and a scientific position.
Core principles of effective psychiatric rehabilitation (how services
are delivered) must include:
Providing hope when the client lacks it.
Respect for the client wherever they are in the recovery process.
Empowering the client.
Teaching the client wellness planning.
Emphasizing the importance for the client to develop social support
networks.
Psychiatric rehabilitation (what services are delivered) varies by
provider and may consist of eight main areas:
Psychiatric (symptom management; relaxation, meditation and massage;
support groups and in-home assistance)
Health and Medical (maintaining consistency of care; family physician and
mental health counseling)
Housing (safe environments; supported housing; community residential
services; group homes; apartment living)
Basic Living Skills (personal hygiene or personal care, preparing and sharing
meals, home and travel safety and skills, goal and life planning, chores and
group decision-making, shopping and appointments)
Social (relationships, recreational and hobby, family and friends, housemates
and boundaries, communications & community integration)
Vocational and/or Educational (vocational planning, transportation
assistance to employment, preparation programs (e.g., calculators), GED
classes, televised education, coping skills, motivation)
Financial (personal budget), planning for own apartment (startup funds,
security deposit), household grocery; social security disability; banking
accounts (savings or travel)
Community and Legal (resources; health insurance, community recreation,
memberships, legal aid society, homeownership agencies, community
colleges, houses of worship, ethnic activities and clubs; employment
presentations; hobby
