Empowering Minds Resource Center Information

Empowering Minds Resource Center is a Psychiatric Rehabilitation treatment program that is based on the recovery and person-centered models of rehabilitation for children and families. We understand the need to meet the client where they are, and specialize in providing both onsite and offsite services. Individuals are provided with skills and support to embrace their mental wellness, to enhance the quality of their life and to pursue personally valued roles in their living, learning, work and social environments. Many individuals with mental illness experience difficulty being included in the community and accessing community resources; this is due in part to the segregation and isolation that they have experienced, and in part to the disabilities associated with their mental illness. Our Rehabilitation Counselors focus on building hope in a positive and possible future, symptom management, coping strategies, people skills, development of transferable work and school skills to build readiness, vocational goal setting, wellness planning, problem solving, socialization skills and therapeutic creative expression. We will address an individual's goals in a conducive environment, identify areas of need and promote maximum independence and integration into the community through an array of rehabilitative services. PRP is an add-on service to primary mental health treatment provided by an individual's therapist or psychiatrist.
