Mental Health Services

PROS is a comprehensive rehabilitative program for adults who have serious mental illness. The goal is to help participants achieve personal levels of satisfaction for employment, education, housing, relationships, and community involvement. PROS is for people who are 18 years and older.  Participants appreciate our spacious, attractive setting, complete with an outdoor terrace garden, and computer lab. 

At PROS, learning and recovery is a supportive, community experience. Special events include karaoke days and guest lectures on topics suggested by the PROS community. PROS participants are encouraged to explore their feelings and discover themselves through various platforms (art, music, written word, spoken word).

Recovery counselors work with participants to develop an individual recovery plan that aligns with the individual's life goals and objectives. Participants choose which of the 70+ weekly PROS courses are best suited to help them achieve their plan. Courses and services include a variety of topics from which participants can choose.
