CLIENT DEVELOPMENT and COMMUNITY REINTEGRATION, with speaker Arturo Uribe, MSW, LCSW
Psynergy Programs promotes clients’ reintegration into community living by providing the necessary skills and supports individuals with severe and persistent mental illness need so they may lead satisfying and successful lives. Psynergy Programs “client centered services” places emphasis on what our clients “want to do” and what they “would like to have happen." This includes freely chosen and supported rehabilitation, recreation and leisure activities. By engaging in enjoyable activities of the client’s own interest and choosing, clients learn the importance of flexibility, problem-solving, decision-making, development of personal strengths and active membership in one's community.
