• WHAT WE OFFER
•  

·          We do restoration of community functioning and well-being of individuals diagnosed with a mental disorder and who may be considered to have a psychiatric disability around Nairobi and other towns. Rehabilitation work is undertaken by rehabilitation counselors, licensed professional counselors, psych rehab consultants or specialists, psychiatrists, social workers, psychologists, occupational therapists and we seek to effect changes in a person's environment and in a person's ability to deal with his/her environment, so as to facilitate improvement in symptoms or personal distress. These services often "combine pharmacologic treatment, independent living and social skills training, psychological support to clients and their families, housing, vocational rehabilitation, social support and network enhancement and access to leisure activities." We focus on challenging stigma and prejudice to enable social inclusion, on working collaboratively in order to empower clients, and sometimes on a goal of full recovery. The latter is now widely known as a recovery approach or model.

·         We also offer Psychiatric rehabilitation services in Nairobi that are collaborative, person directed and individualized. These services are an essential element of the health care and human services spectrum, and must be evidence-based. We focus on helping individuals develop skills and access resources needed to increase their capacity to be successful and satisfied in the living, working, learning, and social environments of their choice.

·         In Rehabilitation Counseling, we are   focused on helping people who have disabilities achieve their personal, career, and independent living goals through a counseling process.

·         Rehabilitation Counselors can be found in private practice, in rehabilitation facilities, hospitals, universities, schools, government agencies, insurance companies and other organizations where people are being treated for congenital or acquired disabilities. Over time, with the changes in social work being more psychotherapy-oriented, rehabilitation counselors take on more and more community engagement work, especially as it relates to special populations.

·         Telerehabilitation (online counseling) is where we   deliver rehabilitation services over telecommunication networks and the internet. Most types of services fall into two categories: clinical assessment (the patient’s functional abilities in his or her environment), and clinical therapy. Telerehabilitation also allows us to engage in a clinical consultation at a distance.
