Psychosocial Rehabilitation (PSR) Services

Supporting the Whole Life Through Real-World Skill Building

Psychosocial Rehabilitation (PSR) Services

Psychosocial Rehabilitation (PSR) is a community-based, recovery-oriented mental health support service designed to help children, adolescents, and adults build, strengthen, and maintain the skills needed for daily living and meaningful participation in their communities. PSR focuses on practical skill development and ongoing support to promote independence, stability, and improved quality of life.

PSR services are delivered in natural, real-world settings such as the home, school, workplace, and community. By working in the environments where daily life happens, individuals are able to practice and apply skills in ways that feel relevant, supportive, and sustainable. Services are individualized and aligned with each person’s goals, strengths, cultural values, developmental needs, and lived experiences, promoting dignity, empowerment, and inclusion.
