DOMAINS OF PSYCHIATRIC REHABILITATION
Assessment, Planning, and Outcomes—rehabilitation or recovery
Seven (7) domains of psychiatric rehabilitation practice are:
1. Interpersonal Competencies—this domain focuses on establishing
collaborative relationships with persons with psychiatric disabilities, which is
integral to the delivery of effective rehabilitation servicesservices. It also
addresses the importance of having the knowledge and skills needed to instill
hope regarding persons’ potential for recovery. Group facilitation
competencies are also addressed in this domain of practice.
2. Professional Role Competencies—CPRPs should have the knowledge
and skills needed to provide evidence-based and emerging best practices.
They also need to conduct themselves in an ethical manner.
Other areas of practice covered in this domain include skill in helping people
make informed choices, knowledge of relevant laws and regulations, ability
to facilitate activities in natural settings, and utilization of advocacy and
conflict resolution techniques.
3. Community Integration—knowing and accessing the resources and
services the community offers that can promote the recovery and quality of
life of those served by psychiatric rehabilitation service recipients is essential.
For example, a CPRP must be able to make linkages to entitlement and
benefit programs, legal and advocacy resources, alternative supports (such as
self-help groups), and natural supports. Sometimes they also need to develop
community resources if gaps exist in the community support system.
4.
planning is critical to the practice of psychiatric rehabilitation . Helping
individuals define and refine their goals and develop the plans to achieve
these goals is critical. Identifying personal strengths and personal interests
and assessing readiness for rehabilitation as well as conducting specialized
functional and environmental assessments are included in this practice
domain.
5. Strategies for Facilitating Recovery—this domain addresses the types of
interventions that a CPRP must be able to provide to help facilitate recovery.
These strategies include skills in teaching, environmental modification,
motivational enhancement, outreach, crisis de-escalation, problem solving,
and other interventions.
6. Systems Competencies—understanding the various components of mental
health systems, including government agencies and regulations, the network
of relevant service providers, and the role of advocacy organizations is an
important area of practice. CPRPs should be able to navigate these systems
and collaborate with stakeholders to participate in systems-level advocacy
7. Supporting Health and Wellness—Health and wellness in all its
dimensions are important aspects of rehabilitation and recovery. The Certified
Psychiatric Rehabilitation Practitioner CPRP must support individuals in
developing the knowledge, skills, and attitudes to attain and sustain a
wellness lifestyle.
