- Psychiatric rehabilitation is based on recovery.
- It is the process of helping an individual who has a psychiatric disability.
- Rehabilitation seeks to make changes in a person's surroundings which include the living, learning, work, and social roles, and also a person's ability to deal with their surroundings and everyday life issues.
- Primarily the Boston University Approach we help persons progress through a number of stages including engagement, readiness, choosing and achieving.
- Through the stages the individual will progress toward getting and keeping the living, learning, working, and social environment that they would prefer
