✅ Basic Living and Social Skills: ARMHS providers assist individuals in improving essential skills for independent living, especially when mental health symptoms impair daily functioning. These skills include:

• Interpersonal communication
• Utilization of community resources
• Budgeting, shopping, and promoting healthy lifestyles
• Management of mental illness symptoms
• Household management
• Employment-related skills

These skills can be taught individually or in group settings.

✅ Functional Assessment: Providers establish rapport with each client to understand how their mental health symptoms uniquely impact various aspects of their lives. This understanding guides the treatment planning process.

✅ Individual Treatment Plan: A client-centered approach is crucial for developing specific goals and identifying the incremental steps required to achieve these goals. Family members and community resources may also be involved in the planning process.

✅ Community Intervention: Involves collaborating with agencies, institutions, employers, landlords, or family members to enhance the individual’s ability to function independently within the community.

✅ Medication Education: Instruction is provided to the individual, their family, or significant others on how to manage and maintain the prescribed medication regimen. This education is typically conducted by healthcare professionals like physicians, pharmacists, registered nurses, or physician assistants.

✅ Certified Peer Specialist Services: Peer specialists support individuals by utilizing a non-clinical approach that emphasizes discovering strengths and setting unique recovery goals. They model wellness, personal responsibility, self-advocacy, and hopefulness through sharing their own experiences.

✅ Transition to Community Living Services: These services facilitate the transition from higher levels of care (e.g., regional treatment centers, community hospitals, intensive residential treatment programs) to community-based living settings.
