Services
Our services at the OMHC level are designed to promote mental health and improve functioning in children, youth, adults and families. In addition, the services are tools used to effectively decrease the prevalence and incidence of mental illness, emotional disturbance and social dysfunction. The responsibility for diagnostic and treatment services are vested in a multi-disciplinary team comprised of psychiatrists, licensed social workers, licensed professional counselors, marriage and family licensed therapist, public health educators and other mental health professionals.
Ours services at HOPE include but not limited to diagnostic evaluation, family, group and individual therapies, medication services, crisis or emergency interventions. HOPE makes every effort to respond flexibly to our client and is easily accessible to our clients. HOPE, when appropriate, works in collaboration with schools, child welfare/foster system, and other child/family caring agencies.

Psychiatric Rehabilitation Program (PRP)
Program/Treatment Model
Hope Health System’s child and adolescent PRP program is goal directed, outcome focused, and time-limited interventions designed to reduce maladaptive behaviors and to restore and strengthen specific age appropriate skills so that the youth can function to their highest potential up to and including independence. PRP treatment is seen as a planned and integrated adjunct to outpatient mental health treatment, and the total plan of care or the youth. PRP includes a combination of psycho-education, emotional and behavioral awareness competency, and social skills training in groups or individually, at the agency site, or in the youth’s home or in the community.
The focus of the Psychiatric Rehabilitation Program treatment model will be directed toward the reduction of emotional or behavioral problems, and the restoration of age-appropriate skills, including:
- Facilitating the enhancement of an individual’s independent living and social skills, including the individual’s ability to make decisions about his or her life, while creating opportunities for choice regarding home, school or work, or community; and
- Promoting community resources to integrate the individual into the community.
Rehabilitative activities (in individual sessions, psycho-educational groups, and family groups, as appropriate) that will be incorporated in the PRP include:
- Self-care skills (i.e., hygiene, grooming, dietary planning, food preparation, age-appropriate involvement with self-administration of medication);
- Social skills (i.e., conflict resolution training, improved peer interactions, anger management, improved interactions with authority figures, assertiveness training, assessing risks in social environments);
- Independent living skills (i.e., maintaining personal living space, community awareness, mobility skills, monetary management, housekeeping, the importance of punctuality, task analyses, completion of chores, staying safe while in the community, education on age-appropriate meal preparation, doing laundry);
- Leisure and recreational activities (i.e., development of healthy leisure activities, use of leisure to develop teamwork and peer support behaviors, promotion of productive and rewarding use of time spent alone);
- Schedule planning (i.e., daily schedule planning, time management, development of daily routine, development of routine before going to bed at night to prepare for the next day);
- Cultural interests (i.e., exploration of activities that support the youth’s cultural interests by self-expression through artistic modalities);
- Age-appropriate techniques and resources to provide understanding of the role and effects of medication and symptom management; and
- Age-appropriate techniques and resources to understand basic healthy living, nutrition, exercise, sexuality, and health education/risk reduction.
