Wellness and Recovery Services

Wellness and Recovery Services help consumers in learning and understanding their disability/illness. Through strong emphasis on rights, recovery, and rehabilitation, consumers view their disabilities as manageable from the earliest possible moment. Over time, consumers become engaged in activities which are normative in our society, such as work. WRS focuses on skill building, cognitive assessment/remediation, and self help as tools for increasing success and satisfaction in self-determined goals. Active treatment and services are based on the philosophy that self help, empowerment, and advocacy are important components of recovery. An array of services are offered at every site including mutual support, assistance with problems of daily living, cognitive remediation, DBT) (Dialectical Behavioral Therapy), CT-R (Recovery Oriented Cognitive Therapy) and Peer Support and Employment services. Dialogues on a wide range of topics including Hope, Empowerment, Recovery, Respect, and Friendship are also offered.
