Psychosocial rehabilitation, which can also be called Psychiatric Rehabilitation or PSR for short, is a client focused, empowerment approach to mental health care. PSR aims to promote personal recovery, successful day to day functioning and improve the overall quality of life for people with a mental health concern.

An important part of psychosocial rehabilitation is that it is completely individualized to account for each person’s unique history, strengths, short and long term goals, and areas of growth to create a plan of therapeutic support for them.

Psychiatric Rehabilitation promotes recovery, full community integration, and improved quality of life for people who have been diagnosed with any mental health condition that seriously impairs their ability to lead meaningful lives. Psychiatric rehabilitation services are collaborative, person directed, and individualized.

These services are an essential element of the health care and human services spectrum, and should be evidence-based. They focus on helping individuals develop skills and access resources needed to increase their capacity to be successful and satisfied in the living, working, learning, and social environments of their choice.
