About the Course

“Psychiatric Rehabilitation is the systematic effort to help adults with psychiatric disabilities to attain their personal goals.  It is bidirectional in focus, seeking to influence both the individuals’ strengths and challenges related to these goals, and the community contexts in which the persons will live them out.”  (Corrigan, 2016; p. 47).  Throughout this training, participants will learn about the field of psychiatric rehabilitation, the philosophy and guiding principles that provide a framework for service delivery, and the ways in which the principles can be infused throughout the mental health service system.  Psychiatric rehabilitation is not clinical in its design, rather it is rehabilitative and focused on skill building, promoting individuals’ progress towards self-management and increased capacity in the domains of living, employment, education, wellness, and social skills.  The field of psychiatric rehabilitation takes a holistic approach to overall well-being for individuals living with severe and persistent mental illness.
