Individuals with serious mental illness need opportunities to identify and choose their desired roles in their community. UNM Health System’s Psychosocial Rehabilitation (PSR) program helps patients overcome obstacles and build a better life.
PSR is an ancillary service. If you receive services at any UNMH Behavioral Health Clinic, you can be referred by your provider, CSW, or you may self-refer to PSR.
