Psychosocial Rehabilitation (PSR) is a set of recovery-oriented services delivered to adults experiencing mental illness, including basic support for their family members.
What it covers
The catalog states: “This course is designed to provide a theoretical and practical knowledge base for the entry-level skills required to deliver psychosocial rehabilitation (PSR) services to adults experiencing mental illness.”
In addition to lecture, each class will 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.
In addition to working with service recipients, students will also learn basic skills to support family members. Throughout the course, skills for greater self-awareness and cultural competence will be identified and developed.
