Psychiatric Rehabilitation Professions

Psychiatric rehabilitation promotes recovery, community integration, and improved quality of life for persons who have been diagnosed with any mental health condition that seriously impairs functioning. Psychiatric rehabilitation practitioners help individuals develop skills and access resources needed to increase their capacity to be successful in the living, working, learning, and social environments of their choice.

As New Jersey and other states continue to downsize state psychiatric institutions and redirect public mental health funding to community-based alternatives, employment opportunities for program graduates continue to expand. The knowledge and skills of the psychiatric rehabilitation practitioner qualify her or him to conduct rehabilitation assessments and provide supportive counseling, case management services, and vocational rehabilitation interventions. The practitioner is also prepared to facilitate individual and group skills training sessions, as well as illness management and support groups.
