Understand ARMHS

What is ARMHS?

The focus of Adult Rehabilitative Mental Health Service is recovery. ARMHS teaches skills to develop and enhance psychiatric stability, social competencies, personal and emotional adjustment, and independent living and community skills, when these abilities are impaired by the symptoms of mental illness.

While improved functioning is the primary goal of ARMHS, for some of the people we serve, significant impairments in functioning may continue chronically. For these individuals, the focus of ARMHS may be to help them make changes in their environment, use formal and informal supports more effectively, improve health and health care, and more effectively use mental health, health care, social services, and other supports to accommodate deficits in functioning.

What do We Provide?

The primary service we provide is called Basic Living and Social Skills (BLSS). Basic living and social skills are activities that instruct, assist and support a member in skill areas essential for every day, independent living. Examples of skill areas include the following:

Interpersonal communications
