Psychiatric Rehabilitation Program (PRP) for Children and Adolescents are designed to complement, support and strengthen the mental health (Therapy and Psychiatry) services the child is already receiving. Trained rehabilitation staff provide a combination of individual and group rehabilitation activities at the child’s home and/or other appropriate community locations.

On Site (facility-based) and Off Site (community-based) services are family focused, individualized and based on the child’s and the family’s strengths and resilience. Specific rehabilitation goals are established, which target identified needs based on information from the referring mental health professional, a comprehensive assessment and meetings with the child and his/her family.

PRP staff routinely evaluate progress with each child and their parent/guardian/support team and provide monthly summary reports to the primary therapist and other mental health professionals working with the child.
