Psychiatric Rehabilitation
Take the First Step to Recovery
Bridgehaven’s Psychiatric Rehab program uses evidenced based interventions to help individuals with severe and persistent mental health problems find successful roles in their community. We help members develop the insights and skills they need to have successful roles in their schools, with employers, in their living environment, or socially with others in the community. Licensed therapists meet with each individual member at Bridgehaven to help them design a plan of care. They create a schedule of therapeutic groups and activities where the member is encouraged to think, examine and change behaviors to overcome their own personal barriers to recovery.

About our programs
Working together, we make a difference
A Peer Specialist, licensed therapist, nurse, or Psychiatric Rehab Practitioner leads our activities and interventions to help members develop important skills such as attention and focus, memory, problem solving and organization skills. Members are provided education about their illnesses and strategies to overcome their barriers and move towards wellness.
Therapists work with members helping them gain new insights to their emotions and patterns of behavior so that the member can make informed and knowledgeable choices. Peer Support Specialists provide an empathetic partner who understand the energy and effort needed to remain engaged in the recovery process.
Bridgehaven is proud to offer ASL interpreters for any of our in-person groups upon request!
The Power Lies Within
