NEW!! Self-Directed Psychiatric Rehabilitation Activities

The Self-Directed Psychiatric Rehabilitation Activities is a new
product, published by the Center for Psychiatric Rehabilitation,
designed to walk a person through the process of considering, choosing,
getting, and keeping a preferred living, learning, working, or social
role. The outlines, examples, and worksheets in this manual are written
for personal use. 

 

The process assists a person to explore and develop readiness for
rehabilitation; to choose a valued role in residential, educational,
vocational, and social settings; and to review and develop skills and
supports in order to be satisfied and successful in a chosen role. 

 

These activities are useful for those who want to work independently or
with support. 

 

A valuable resource for individuals, peers, mental health and
rehabilitation service providers, family members, and others will find
the Self-Directed Activities to be user-friendly and helpful in making
important life decisions.
