New York Work Exchange

Psychiatric Rehabilitation

The New York Work Exchange is offering 6 half-day modules spanning the Psychiatric Rehabilitation Approach. These modules include an Introduction to Psychiatric Rehabilitation, Rehabilitation Readiness Assessment, Developing Rehabilitation Readiness, Choosing a Valued Role, and Achieving Valued Roles I and II.

The Psychiatric Rehabilitation Approach includes a philosophy and an evidence-based process for involving recipients in rehabilitative activities underscoring particular psychiatric rehabilitative values that will be reflected in the trainings. The focus is on recovery and the approach is a well defined service that is complimentary to treatment, case management, and other types of mental health services. This approach can be applied in a range of programs and settings and is consistent with the goals of PROS. Staff can utilize this approach to promote individualized and comprehensive outcome-oriented services.

In addition to the 6 half-day module trainings, NYWE will be offering a series of afternoon technical assistance sessions at NYWE on April 4th, April 11th, May 9th, June 6th, and June 13th. The TA sessions will provide an opportunity for individuals to discuss in more detail the principles and application of Psychiatric Rehabilitation, trouble-shoot individual program issues, receive expert advice, exchange ideas and network with each other on how Psychiatric Rehabilitation can be implemented into existing services.
