The Psychosocial Rehabilitation Program (PSR) is a treatment modality that provides rehabilitation for behavioral disorders. 

Distinctive and defining features of the PSR approach

• PSR approaches build upon the assessed strengths of persons rather than their deficits and problems. In other words, PSR approaches are strengths based--they are based on the assessment of a person’s strengths as the basis for individualized goal setting and recovery. This is a major difference from traditional, illness-based approaches which focus on problems and deficits.
• Psychosocial rehabilitation approaches are collaborative; person-directed and individualized. They assist individuals in rediscovering skills and accessing the community resources needed to live successfully and with a self-identified quality of life. Accordingly, PSR approaches involve the client setting goals rather than goals being set by others.
• PSR approaches to support people to have a meaningful life focus on the determinants of good mental health, including employment, education, social supports, basic living skills, leisure, and wellness.
• PSR approaches generally place persons in their chosen goal settings such as jobs and housing and then train and support them in those settings. Similarly, other training, such as social skills training takes place in a person’s natural environments.
• PSR approaches are supported by scientific evidence as effective. PSR approaches include several best practices, which are strongly supported by evidence, such as supported employment and wellness programs, as well as promising practices with emerging evidence, such as peer support programs. PSR approaches to promote recovery with full community living and improved quality of life.
