Community Based Services
Cornerstone offers a variety of community based services (PRP) to support people so that they can live as independently as possible in their own homes.
The Adult Psychiatric Rehabilitation Program (PRP) supports adults living with serious mental illness as they work toward independence and community integration. Through group and individual sessions, clients build daily-living skills, manage symptoms, and strengthen social connections.
PRP emphasizes self-direction, goal-setting, and consistency helping individuals structure their days, maintain wellness, and sustain employment or volunteer activities. The environment fosters accountability and confidence, empowering participants to define success on their own terms.
