Psychiatric Rehabilitation Program

The Psychiatric Rehabilitation Program works to assist individuals with mental illness to reach a higher level of independence. The PRP program assists consumers with accessing and coordinating services and resources in their communities and works to ensure that the client has access to the best possible treatment. Behavioral Counselors provide services within the home and the community. Our Rehabilitation Counselors assist the clients with learning and developing improved daily living skills (i.e. personal hygiene, organizational skills, time management skills, nutrition, and money management), as well as working towards achieving healthy coping mechanisms.

To start PRP services, we must receive a signed referral from a licensed mental health professional. If you are currently receiving mental health services by a licensed professional and have Maryland Medical Assistance, please have them complete our referral form. If you are not currently in services but have Maryland Medical Assistance, consider contacting TYIA to schedule an appointment.

We provide mostly community-based services with monthly or bi-monthly activities from therapeutic trainings to engaging trainings. Trainings vary each month based on the needs of our clients, but may include training on social skills, communication skills, work readiness, exercise and nutrition, community living skills, art, and recovery. All trainings are planned by the TYIA’s Executive Director and are designed to be therapeutic in nature, allowing clients to learn, develop and/or improve their skills while having fun.
Trainings are often focus on aiding in the development of the goals set by the therapist: anger management skills, grief management, age-appropriate semi-independent living skills, self-care skills, social skills, educational skills and symptom management skills. PRP staff often develop trainings to focus on the targeted skill that needs to be addressed. Trainings are planned around the needs of our clients.

One of the life skills for young adults and adults we focus on is job readiness and job coaching.

Based on current regulations the program is authorized to see adults 6 times a month and youth 4 times a month. The more you attend the greater the benefits.
