Mobile Social Rehab: It’s all about recovery
What is Mobile Social Rehab?
Mobile Social Rehab (also Mobile Social Rehabilitation, or “MSR”) is an organized program that helps people who have a mental illness or emotional disturbance to be as independent as possible.
Mobile Social Rehab is founded on a “recovery model.” Just as individuals with physical illness are able to live full lives, with or without some support, individuals with mental illness can do the same. The recovery model focuses on the whole person, not just their illness, because there is more to the individual than their illness.
Our philosophy is that mental health requires an integration of socialization, leisure and recreational activities. The group setting helps members gain confidence, comfort and supports that they will take with them wherever they go. The program provides opportunities to get together with peers and develop social skills, vocational counseling, community education and awareness.
(That and it’s also a lot of fun!)

Activities, chosen by participants and facilitated by staff, designed to increase socialization, independence, quality of life and community resources. They may include (but not be limited to):
