What is Psychiatric Rehabilitation?
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.
Our psychiatric rehabilitation services are collaborative, person directed and individualized.
The services we provide are an essential element of the health care and human services spectrum, and are evidence-based.
