Our mental health patients suffering from severe and persistent mental health illness supported inpatient rehabilitation. Psychiatric rehabilitation focuses on helping patients to develop emotional, social, and intellectual skills needed to live, learn and work in the community with the least amount of professional support. Rehabilitation outcomes are influenced not only by physical recovery but also by the psychological and emotional well-being of the individual. Mental health challenges, such as anxiety, depression, and post-traumatic stress disorder, often stem from the trauma of the injury, the adjustment to new functional limitations, and the broader social and psychological effects of these changes. These issues can significantly hinder recovery, highlighting the need for early recognition and intervention.
Our recovery approach is different for different individuals. The recovery means the achievement of an optimal state of personal, social and emotional wellbeing, whilst living with or recovering from a mental health issue, The principles of a recovery oriented approach include understanding that each person is different and should be supported to make their own choices, listened to and treated with dignity and respect. Each person is the expert of their own life and support should assist them to achieve their hopes, goals and aspirations.
