PSYCHIATRIC REHABILITATION
Psychiatric Rehabilitation (PSYR) is also known as Psychosocial Rehabilitation (PSR). PSYR is a salutogenic intervention that represents the gold standard in fortigenesis and mental health recovery. ​
Psychiatric rehabilitation promotes recovery, full community integration, and improved quality of life for persons 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.
