Psychiatric Rehabilitation Program
Adult PRP services are available to those individuals who are 18 years of age and older, who are receiving mental health services from a physician or licensed clinician, who have or are eligible for medical assistance*, and who meet criteria for a priority population mental health diagnosis**. Following a period of assessment which evaluates client strengths and preferences, individualized rehabilitation goals are implemented.
Psychiatric Rehabilitation Program (PRP) refers to the process of restoring community functioning and overall well-being to individuals diagnosed with a Mental Health Disorder, or those diagnosed with an Intellectual or Developmental Disability through one-on-one counseling.
PRPs are designed to cater therapeutic services based on the individual’s unique needs by meeting the individual in their environment and fostering a network of resources for an individual to utilize. PRPs provides personalized psychiatric rehabilitation services for children and adults. They operate by assigning each individual a Rehabilitation Coordinator to offer auxiliary support that assists the client in achieving desired goals.
These programs provide a range of supportive and education-based services that encourage independent living and skill building by helping individuals learn how to manage their illness.
