AC fosters psychosocial rehabilitation.
When most people think of treatment for individuals with depression, PTSD, bipolar disorder and schizophrenia, they imagine physician visits, medications or perhaps some sessions with a counselor. Rarely do they think of drama programs, community college classes or role-play groups or volunteering for making friends. Yet, there is increasing evidence that these latter types of interventions, part of a field known as psychosocial rehabilitation, are equally important in allowing individuals who are mentally ill to improve functioning and to regain satisfying roles in society.
ABILITY House program—building homes and awareness by accessing volunteers with disabilities to construct homes for people with disabilities.
