Recovery Network

 The Psychiatric Rehabilitation Program (PRP) is a program designed to assist participants in the development or enhancement of independent living skills.  The ultimate goals is to optimize individual's function in social environments associated with living, learning and working; and prevent relapse or hospitalizations.  Services are delivered in University Psychological Center's (UPC) facilities and other places in the community.

​

UPC's Psychiatric Rehabilitation Program provides one-to-one, group skill trainings and community based services that promote the use of resources as well as self-help organizations to adults with psychiatric disabilities.  Services are highly individualized and directed by the participant's choice in collaboration with the rehabilitation staff and family members, when appropriate.  The development or enhancement of independent living skills is facilitated by an array of skill building interventions supportive of successful, independent community living.
