Mental Health Services


PsychoSocial Rehabilitation


PSR services are designed to help adults and children who have emotional problems or mental illness that interferes with their ability to interact in social situations.  This could include learning to read body language and social cues, respecting personal boundaries and personal space, as well as learning to manage moods and emotions, recognizing triggers (for anger, panic, anxiety, etc.), and learning to reciprocate as appropriate when interacting with others.  Therapy is provided in work, school, community, family, or other environments to help the individual function independently in social settings.  It also helps them develop appropriate skills for living independently and to help prevent movement to a more restrictive living situation. 



Psychotherapy


Psychotherapy (psychiatric counseling) helps participants gain the insight and coping skills needed to help them heal from past abuse issues, and also learn to manage mood disorders such as anxiety and depression.  During psychotherapy, participants learn about their condition and mood, feelings, thoughts and behavior.  Using the insights and knowledge gained in psychotherapy, they pick up healthy coping skills and stress management.  Psychotherapy often can be successfully completed in just a few months, but in the case of a severe mental illness, long-term treatment may be helpful.




Mental Health Case Management


Mental Health Case Management is for adults diagnosed with severe mental illness.  It will endeavor to promote recovery, independence, and successful community living through:

 

  • Communication of hope, and promotion of emotional, behavioral and psychological growth through persistent efforts to attain individual goals

  • The promotion of skills and knowledge to help individuals effectively manage their mental health concerns and develop a sense of hope and sense of self that is not illness dominated

  • Providing a humane service environment that affords reasonable protection from harm including re-traumatization.


Pharmacological Management


Pharmacological (Med) Management helps guide the use of psychiatric and ADHD medications, as well as provide some alternative treatment options.  A licensed clinician will meet with an individual periodically to determine how well their medication is working and to make adjustments as needed. The frequency of visits depends on whether changes are being made and how well the individual is doing.
