PROGRAM DESCRIPTION
Psychosocial Rehabilitation (PSR) is an approach to service delivery that supports the recovery of people with prolonged mental illness. The program attracts people with experience in the field either as a person working towards their own recovery, a family member, a volunteer and/or as a provider of mental health services. Learners develop an understanding of the foundations of PSR, as well as the knowledge and skills related to integrating the approach within practice and programs. Successful completion of the program helps to prepares students for Certification as a CPRP (Certified Psychiatric Rehabilitation Practitioner) through the United States Psychiatric Rehabilitation Association www.uspra.org

NOTES
The Psychosocial Rehabilitation Foundations course is the prerequisite course to all others in the PSR Program and is ideally followed by the second course: Mental Health Services, Programs and Organizations. Mental Health Practitioner Roles and Competencies and the Psychiatric Rehabilitation Process come next. To gain the greatest benefit from the Current Trends in Mental Health course, we strongly recommend that it be the fifth course you take. The final course is Independent Study in Psychosocial Rehabilitation and all previous five courses must be successfully completed prior to registering in this course.
