About Psychosocial Rehabilitation
Psychosocial rehabilitation services use a comprehensive approach (mind, body, and spirit) to work with the whole person for the purposes of improving an individual’s functioning, promoting management of illness(s), and facilitating recovery. The goal of psychosocial rehabilitation is to support individuals with severe and persistent mental illnesses as active and productive members of their communities with the ability to manage their illness and their lives with as little professional intervention as possible.
