Psychiatric Rehabilitation Training Academy

The New York State (NYS) Office of Mental Health (OMH) is committed to advancing and promoting the delivery of high quality, evidence-based psychiatric rehabilitation services throughout the mental health service system. Psychiatric Rehabilitation, also referred to as psychosocial rehabilitation, is a process used to restore an individual’s well-being and community participation through person-centered exploration, goal setting, skill building, and support. The New York State Office of Mental Health (OMH) is issuing a Request for Proposals (RFP) inviting qualified NYS-based training and technical assistance providers to submit proposals for the ongoing operation of the Psychiatric Rehabilitation Training Academy.

The Psychiatric Rehabilitation Training Academy provides targeted training, support and technical assistance leading to sustainable psychiatric rehabilitation competencies within participating agencies. This initiative focuses on providers of mental health rehabilitation services, with a goal of increasing the implementation of evidence-based rehabilitation services and developing agency infrastructure to sustain the integration of rehab services and recovery practices within programs. Specifically, trainings and technical assistance are primarily designed to staff and supervisors working in Personalized Recovery Oriented Services (PROS) Programs, Community Oriented Recovery and Empowerment (CORE) Services, Certified Community Behavioral Health Clinics (CCBHCs), and state operated Psychiatric Centers.

As part of this RFP, the Psychiatric Rehabilitation Training Academy will further provide brief, targeted trainings in psychiatric rehabilitation for other program types serving adults, including young adults ages 18+ such as Housing, Assertive Community Treatment teams (including specialty teams), and Care Management in partnership with other OMH Training Partners.
