Our Psychiatric Rehabilitation Services (PRS) is dedicated to empowering individuals with serious mental illness by helping them develop, enhance and retain essential skills for independent living and community participation.
Through patience, encouragement, and reassurance, our staff is committed to giving our members an opportunity to blossom into strong members of their community. Our members are shown how to utilize their strengths while focusing on recovery and broadening their sense of wellbeing.
We believe true rehabilitation comes from understanding the five domains of psychiatric rehabilitation (living, learning, socializing, self-maintenance and working).
