What’s For Dinner Tonight?

Aug 3, 2016

T&SR hoagiesAmy Pollock, Social Rehabilitation Specialist at Chartiers’ Training and Social Rehabilitation Program in Mt. Lebanon, is pictured delivering hoagies to the HR Department in Bridgeville. The hoagies are being sold as a fundraiser for the T&SR Program. According to one consumer, “We were able to raise a substantial amount of money selling hoagies, to pay for future outings. Since some of our trips require entrance fees, fundraisers will help us to pay the entrance fee into such events. Future outings may include:  trips to miniature golf, museums, and other places.  Getting out into the community is important to our groups, as it provides an opportunity for us to practice our social rehabilitation skills that we learn in T&SR.” The program does take advantage of free activities and has made requests for free tickets, but the fundraisers will remain vital to the program.  The consumer continued, “We plan on continuing our fundraising efforts throughout the year, which may include selling cheesecake, Yankee Candles and Polish pierogis!” The Chartiers Center staff can’t wait to see what they come up with next. We look forward to hearing more about the places they visit.

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.
