Psychosocial Rehabilitation Services (PSR) consist of services designed to support, restore, and maintain community functioning and well-being of adults with a serious and persistent mental illness. The purpose of the service is to promote recovery, resiliency, and community integration by maintaining the person’s optimal level of functioning and preventing psychiatric decompensation, thereby decreasing the risk of unnecessary hospitalization and the need for higher level intensity services. Service activities aim to alleviate current symptomatology and address the person’s underlying condition by reducing the negative effects of social isolation, promoting illness education, creating and monitoring wellness action plans, and the development of other coping and independent living skills.

Each county operates its own Psychosocial Rehabilitation Services Program and is open 5 hours a day, Monday through Friday. Transportation is provided. For more information, call your local Region 8 office.
