Skill-building services to help individuals with mental health conditions live independently.
Psychosocial Rehabilitation (PSR) services are designed to support individuals with mental health conditions, such as depression, anxiety, schizophrenia, and bipolar disorder, in developing the skills needed for independent living. PSR focuses on improving functioning in areas like social interaction, employment, education, and daily living activities. Offered in group settings, PSR helps individuals strengthen their ability to manage daily challenges and thrive in their communities.
PSR services provide structured support that focuses on skill-building and improving life skills. Clients participate in group therapy sessions led by trained professionals, addressing various topics such as communication skills, managing stress, and maintaining relationships. The goal is to help clients gain confidence and independence in their ability to function in social, educational, and work environments. PSR services are available at our Chicago Community Health Centers and are tailored to the specific needs of adolescents, adults, and male or female clients.
PSR is crucial for individuals with mental health conditions as it helps them develop the practical skills needed to live independently and function in their communities. By addressing areas of life such as work, social interaction, and daily living, PSR empowers clients to overcome challenges and enhances their overall quality of life. It reduces the need for institutional care by providing community-based support that encourages recovery and resilience.
The goals of PSR are to improve daily functioning and quality of life by equipping clients with the skills to manage mental health challenges effectively. This includes fostering independence, enhancing social and employment skills, and promoting overall recovery. The program aims to build resilience, reduce isolation, and help individuals transition to independent living while minimizing reliance on institutional care.
