The Mobile Psychiatric Rehabilitation (MPR) Program is a Recovery-oriented program that utilizes the Psychiatric Rehabilitation Approach from the Center for Psychiatric Rehabilitation at Boston University. The MPR program helps people to increase their success and satisfaction in their preferred living, learning, working and social environments.
“Recovery means growing beyond the catastrophe of mental illness and developing new meaning and purpose in one’s life.” (William A. Anthony, Ph.D.)
According to the Pennsylvania Office of Mental Health and Substance Abuse Services (OMHSAS), “Recovery is a self-determined and holistic journey that people undertake to heal and grow. Recovery is facilitated by relationships and environments that provide hope, empowerment, choices and opportunities that promote people reaching their full potential as individuals and community members.”
The Mobile Psychiatric Rehabilitation Program (MPR) is dedicated to supporting and facilitating the recovery of people in Fayette County from their psychiatric disabilities. We do this by involving them in activities that assist them to gain the knowledge, skills and supports to experience complete and true community inclusion.
The MPR program provides psychiatric rehabilitation activities to individuals in Fayette County in their preferred community locations. Through these activities, each individual will set a Role Recovery Goal and participate in further activities that assist them to achieve that goal. Examples of these activities include values clarification, identifying personal criteria, direct skill teaching, skill programming, resource modification and many others. The MPR program tends to operate during normal weekday business hours, but its staff members respond flexibly to individuals’ needs and preferences and schedule evening and weekend activities as necessary.
The (MPR) program is available to adult residents of Fayette County who have a serious psychiatric disability. Typically, people will have been diagnosed as having Schizophrenia, Major Mood Disorder, Psychotic Disorder NOS, Schizoaffective Disorder, or Borderline Personality Disorder. To be accepted by MPR, people must also be interested in making personal progress in at least one of the environmental domains of psychiatric rehabilitation: living, learning, working or social. We also help people with illness management and wellness. The only other requirement for using MPR’s services is that the person wants to be in the program, a reflection of our commitment to the value of choice. Anyone can refer a person who is qualified for the program; we accept referrals from the staff of other CRCSI programs, from other service provider agencies, from family members and other community members. People may also refer themselves by contacting the program’s manager.

By participating in our initial activity, called a Readiness Assessment, each person in the MPR program sets a self-determined Role Recovery Goal which establishes a course of action that reflects where each person is in their unique, personal recovery process. So the outcomes and activities of these goals may be related to: Engagement, Developing Readiness, Choosing a Valued Role or Achieving a Valued Role.
