Mental health day programs serve a very special and supportive role in the lives of individuals who live with mental illness. They change people’s entire concept of their diagnosis, and the life they are able to live after being diagnosed.
Empowerment Model
We empower peers in two ways: 1) by transferring power to them, and 2) encouraging and facilitating opportunities for them to take power. Likewise, we know that this transition and opportunity to operate in such a manner takes time. Therefore, our team of Certified Peers Specialists (CPS), Certified Psychiatric Rehabilitation Practitioners (CPRP), and Mental Health Practitioners and Paraprofessionals (MHP) promotes an atmosphere conducive for peers to be self-directed. Daily, we work with peers to develop and implement skills necessary for them to live safe, independent, sound decision-making, and fulfilling lifestyles.
