The program’s philosophy, principles and
Rev 12.08.03
practice are based on the Psychosocial
Rehabilitation (PSR) approach. Northern
Health has identified PSR as a foundation of
mental health care.
PSR is defined as “a holistic approach that
places the person - not the illness - at the
centre of all interventions. The wishes of the
person being served direct the rehabilitation
process through working partnerships that
are forged between the practitioner and the
individual with mental illness. Effective
rehabilitation builds on a person’s strengths
and helps the individual to compensate for
the negative effects of the psychiatric
disability.” (Hughes and Weinstein in Best
Practices in PSR, 2000)
Two courses make up the citation:
• Introduction to Mental Health
• Psychosocial Rehabilitation (PSR)
Principles and Practice
Courses may be taken individually as long as
prerequisites are met.
Admission requirements
Those with no or limited experience in the
mental health field must start with the
Introduction to Mental Health course. There
are no formal admission requirements for this
course, although English reading and
comprehension to the Grade 10 level are
recommended.
