Intensive Psychiatric Rehabilitation
The Program
Intensive Psychiatric Rehabilitation (IPR) helps individuals with mental health challenges build the skills and confidence needed to live more independently and take on meaningful roles in their communities.
Through IPR services, clients work on developing practical coping strategies, improving daily living skills, and strengthening their personal recovery goals. The program focuses on self-discovery and helping individuals identify what works best for them in managing their mental health.
IPR services are provided in real-life settings and focus on goals related to living, learning, working, and socializing in the community.
Participants also work with staff to create a personalized psychiatric crisis plan, which includes healthy coping tools, self-help strategies, and support from trusted people in their lives.
For individuals whose mental health symptoms have significantly impacted their ability to function in the community, IPR services provide the structure and support needed to stabilize, build skills, and move toward recovery.
Client Participation and Commitment
Clients participating in IPR services take part in small group cohorts of 2–6 individuals. These groups provide a supportive environment where participants can practice social skills, share experiences, and learn from one another. Clients typically commit to four to six hours of services per week over the course of a two-year program. In addition to group sessions, one-on-one (person-to-person) services are also available to provide individualized support and guidance.
