The Psychiatric Rehabilitation Resource Library (PRRL)

Overview

Welcome to the Psychiatric Rehabilitation Resource Library (PRRL), a library of resources designed to support PROS programs and other OMH-funded providers with evidence-informed psychiatric rehabilitation curricula and implementation resources.

We are growing our library in phases!

To start, we are excited to soft launch the following group curricula:

  • Technology Skills for Modern Living: 
    • This group helps people use everyday technology like smartphones, email, and the internet. 
  • Thinking About NYC Housing:
    • This group helps individuals explore independent housing options and understand the responsibilities and requirements of community living. 
  • Self-Care for Independent Living: 
    • This group supports participants in developing practical self-care skills that promote independent living and overall wellness. 
  • Being in the Drivers Seat: 
    • This group introduces foundational psychiatric rehabilitation concepts to help participants develop skills for personal recovery, independent living, and community integration. 
  • Going for the Goal:
    • This group is designed to support participants in identifying meaningful recovery goals, rebuilding motivation, and strengthening skills needed to move forward after setbacks or periods of feeling “stuck.
  • Roles in Relationships:
    • This group aims to help individuals develop a deeper understanding of their relationships and improve their conflict resolution skills.

General Approach:

These curricula are intended to serve as guides. The length, format, curriculum name, and content may be adapted to meet participants’ unique needs, preferences, and goals. Resources were developed using trauma-informed, culturally relevant, and evidence-informed practices and aligned with the PROS Redesign. Please refer to your program's regulatory manual for specific guidance and regulations. Some curricula include supplemental materials, while others may require facilitators to adapt materials to meet the geographic, cultural, and demographic needs of their population.

Questions or Feedback:

We’d love to hear from you! If you have questions, feedback, or implementation-related inquiries about using these curricula, please contact us at prrl.info@nyu.edu. If your inquiry relates to a specific curriculum, please include the curriculum name in the subject line so we can direct your question to the appropriate team.
