MISSION STATEMENT
Prospect House, a Psychosocial Rehabilitation Program, empowers the individual to identify life goals, by providing the necessary environment and interventions. An individual's quality of life and functioning will be enhanced by increasing independence through the ability to self manage their psychiatric illness. We recognize the capacity of every individual to grow and learn. Reintegration into the community is achieved by social and vocational skills training. Through family and community education the detrimental effects of the stigma associated with psychiatric illness will be lessened.
