Psychiatric Rehabilitation assists persons 18 years or older, with functional disabilities resulting from mental illness to develop, enhance, and/or retain psychiatric stability, social competencies, personal adjustment and/or independent living competencies so that they experience more success and satisfaction in the environments of their choice and can function as independently as possible. A planned program of goal setting, functional assessment, identification of needed and preferred skills and supports, skill teaching and managing supports and resources is needed to produce the desired outcomes consistent with a person's cultural environment. Psychiatric rehabilitation programs are founded on the principles of consumers choice and the active involvement of persons in their rehabilitation. It is guided by the basic philosophy that people with disabilities need opportunities to identify and choose for themselves their desired roles in the community with regards to living, learning, working, and/or social environment.
