Description
Based on the values and principles of psychiatric rehabilitation, the Self-Directed Psychiatric Rehabilitation Activities is a product designed to walk a person through the process of considering, choosing, getting, and keeping a preferred living, learning, working, or social role. The individual is the driver in this process, while others sit in the passenger seat helping to navigate the route, if some assistance is wanted and needed.
The outlines and worksheets are written for personal use. The process in this manual is designed to assist a person to explore and develop readiness for rehabilitation; to choose a valued role in residential, educational, vocational, and social settings; and to review and develop skills and supports in order to be satisfied and successful in a chosen role. Individuals may want to use these Self-Directed Activities independently or with a small group of peers.
The activities are organized with:
- An overview of each activity
- An outline of the steps for completing the activity worksheets
- Examples from one person’s experience with the entire process
- Blank worksheets to help guide individuals through the process
This format of an Overview–Outline–Example–Worksheets is designed to help people walk through the parts of the process one step at a time. The activities are written in PDF files, which allows the flexibility of printing out the sections as individuals go along in the process as well as the ability to print out extra worksheets as needed.
