Life Skills PSR Program for Children

Through our Behavioral Health Community Support Services—offered in our Saturday, after-school, and summer programs—we provide tailored support to underserved communities, helping individuals develop essential life and coping skills to overcome challenges and enhance their overall quality of life.

Psychosocial rehabilitation services can include the following to facilitate cognitive and socialization skills necessary for functioning in a work environment and maintaining independence:
