Psychosocial Rehabilitation Services are designed to enhance, restore and/or strengthen the skills needed to promote and sustain independence and stability within the child’s living, learning, social, and work environments.

PRS will help to strengthen independent living skills, self care skills, hygiene skills, enhance interpersonal relationships, and improve communication. PRS is designed to improve the quality of life for beneficiaries by helping them assume responsibility over their lives, strengthen living skills, and develop environmental supports necessary to enable them to function as actively and independently in the community, as possible.
