The Psychosocial Rehabilitation component provides a formally organized goal-oriented curriculum-based program of daily activities directed toward assisting consumers with a serious mental illness or emotional disturbance to function at their highest level of independence in the community. Groups focus on symptoms management, building relationships and supports, and improving daily living skills. Staff implemented a national model of holistic health for consumers that promote, through an expanded curriculum, a greater emphasis on health problems such as diabetes, obesity, and heart disease. These services are oriented toward improvements in age-appropriate or independent role-functioning through systematic skill-building. The intervention strategies emphasized are cognitive-behavioral, social competency building and psycho educational coordinated with other medical/psychotherapeutic modalities. Services are typically delivered from 8:30am to 2:15pm daily.
