"Building and restoring the recipient's skills and abilities to promote independence."

About PSR

The PSR program is the merging of both psychosocial rehabilitation activities and symptom education with the addition of therapeutic techniques best suited for the dually diagnosed population. The Arc Tampa Bay’s program was initiated in 2022, in order to provide continuity of care; while ensuring that our dually diagnosed persons were receiving the tools to build and maintain independence in their everyday functioning skills.
