Welcome

Skills training and development is training provided to an eligible person, the LAR, or primary caregiver on behalf of an eligible adult, child, or youth. The training addresses: 

• SMI or SED and symptom-related problems that interfere with the person’s functioning and living, working, and learning environment. 
• Provides opportunities for the person to acquire and improve skills needed to function as appropriately and independently as possible in the community.

Psychosocial Rehabilitative Services are social, behavioral, and cognitive interventions provided by members of a person’s therapeutic team that build on strengths and focus on restoring the person’s ability to develop and maintain social relationships, occupational or educational achievement, and other independent living skills that are affected by or the result of an SMI in persons who are 18 years of age and older.

Psychosocial rehabilitative services include independent living services, coordination services, and employment, housing, and medication-related services. Psychosocial rehabilitative services may also address the impact of co-occurring disorders upon the person’s ability to reduce symptomology and increase daily functioning.

 Medication training and support services consist of education and guidance about medications and their possible side effects. It is curriculum-based training and guidance that serves as an initial orientation for the person in understanding the nature of their mental illnesses or emotional disturbances and the role of medications in ensuring symptom reduction and increased tenure in the community.
