Psychiatric Rehabilitation Program

Our Child and Adolescent Psychiatric Rehabilitation Program (PRP) is designed to promote healthy development of a youth’s behavior, social skills, self management skills, and family relationships. The program is strength-based and strives for the empowerment of the client, which leads to the youth attaining identified personal goals and objectives.

PRP services are provided in the setting most conducive to enhancing each youth’s own healthy participation in the community. This may include the youth’s home, foster care home, job site, educational setting or other community sites. The intensity of services will vary depending upon the youth’s individual needs, environment, or diagnosis.

With the input of the client and family, the PRP team at Changing Turn Community Healthcare Services establishes specific goals relating to the areas of personal care, behavioral management, social skills, and other skills that will lead the client and his/ her family to a more positive future independent life with less need for intensive mental health services support.

Our Adult Psychiatric Rehabilitation Program (PRP) is a mental health rehabilitation support program designed as an alternative to and prevention of in-patient psychiatric hospitalization. Our PRP program addresses the psychiatric rehabilitative needs of the clients with a chronic mental illness. .

This population requires skill development and moderate to intensive support to function independently or with a care giver’s support in residential, educational and social environments. Changing Turn Community Healthcare Services’ rehabilitation approach allows clients to identify self-directed goals and develop a plan on how to reach their goals.

The rehabilitation team is comprised of a Program Director, Program Coordinator, Licensed Rehabilitation Specialists and Rehabilitation Counselors. Our team ensures a consistent, safe and rehabilitative environment for each client.
