Psychosocial Rehabilitation 
(PSR)

​Psychosocial rehabilitation (PSR) is an evidence-based therapeutic approach that aims to help individuals with severe mental illnesses, to achieve their full potential in the community. It focuses on helping people recover from the effects of their illness and regain control over their lives.  PSR is an essential component of mental health services and can greatly improve the quality of life of individuals with severe mental illnesses.

The following are the goals of PSR:

​

Regaining daily living skills: Individuals with severe mental illnesses may struggle with basic activities such as cooking, cleaning, and managing finances. PSR helps them regain these skills through education, training, and support.

​

Enhancing social relationships: Social isolation is a common challenge for individuals with severe mental illnesses. PSR programs offer opportunities for individuals to build meaningful relationships and participate in social activities.

​

Improving employment and education outcomes: Unemployment rates among individuals with severe mental illnesses are significantly higher than the general population. PSR programs help individuals develop job skills, find meaningful employment, or pursue further education.

​

Promoting community integration: PSR aims to support individuals in becoming active members of their communities. This may include finding housing, joining clubs or organizations, and participating in community events.
