Chartiers’ Supervisory Staff Attend Retreat

Dec 5, 2016

img_1285On Friday, December 2nd, Chartiers’ Management  and Supervisory Staff participated in a day long retreat. The first half of the day Michael Celender, from LifeSolutions, presented a course on “Managing Your Time.” Staff learned about setting goals and converting the goals into action. Other topics included effective meetings and controlling the in-box. It was time well spent and all of the action steps and tips can immediately be put to use and shared with other staff.
The afternoon was centered around team building activities. Some of the highlights included judging an ugly sweater contest and decorating ugly sweater cookies.   Below are staff intent on decorating their cookies and others posed for the ugly sweater contest.

What Is Mobile Psychiatric Rehabilitation?

Psychiatric Rehabilitation Services are founded on the firm belief that people can and do recover from mental illness, including the most severe and persistent diagnoses. Psych Rehab providers define recovery not by a lack of symptoms, but by the presence of meaning and purpose in one’s life. Participants in Chartiers Center’s Mobile Psych Rehab (MPR) program choose the recovery goals they want to work on and then meet regularly with their MPR staff to learn, enhance, and practice the skills they need to reach those goals.

Healing Invisible Wounds

For many Veterans, the battle doesn’t end when they return home. The experiences of deployment, combat exposure, loss, and the transition back to civilian life can take a profound toll on mental well-being. While every Veteran’s story is unique, the mental-health challenges they face often share common threads: post-traumatic stress, depression, anxiety, substance use, and a lingering sense of isolation. The good news is that effective, compassionate treatment options exist—and awareness and accessibility have grown dramatically over the past decade.
