Psychosocial Rehabilitation Services
Esperanza Group LLC Psychosocial Rehabilitation service is a skills-based, recovery-oriented program, allowing clients with mental or emotional challenges to learn skills to be able to function independently within their communities. The overall goal of the program is to help the client restore or develop daily living skills, social skills, and/or vocational skills that are currently limited due to a mental health diagnosis. Through psychosocial rehabilitation, we hope it will minimize the need for more intensive treatment. The fundamental part of the program relies in active participation and involvement from each client in order to yield positive outcomes in each area.
At intake, the client will undergo an assessment to determine current condition, skill level, and level of social functioning. The assessor, client, and family (for minors) come together to create goals that promote restoration and development of skills, and abilities that are essential in every day life. Our PSR Specialists will then use the treatment plan created to work with the client in developing a healthier sense of self-esteem, which in turn allows them to see social, vocational, and independent living skills as attainable.
This service is offered at home and/or in the community, and it is also currently being offered via Telehealth. The session may take place either individually or in a group setting, depending on the client’s individual needs. Our psychosocial rehabilitation specialists are continuously offered trainings to provide high quality services to each client.
