Psychiatric rehabilitation is an approach in mental health care that helps people living with mental health conditions develop and practice the skills of recovery in daily life.
What it covers
The course is designed to introduce discussion topics and/or activities that bring the concepts of recovery into focus and give each student the opportunity to rehearse and experience the application of these skills. Throughout the course, skills for greater self-awareness and cultural competence will be identified and developed.
The catalog adds: “In addition to working with service recipients, students will also learn basic skills to support family members.”
