BreakOut VII: A National Conference on
Psychosocial Rehabilitation and Deafness
Community Interventions:
Preserving Our Roots
April 4-6, 2002
Raleigh, North Carolina
Catch the wave! Psychosocial rehabilitation (PSR) has been an important
intervention model for deaf consumers of mental health services for the past
forty years. Since the 1960's, PSR programs have addressed the needs of
people recovering from mental illness by using community-based resources and
support to help people live, learn, work and socialize in the environments
of their choice. A continuum of accessible and community-based services must
remain our focus today. So be part of the "new" wave of the future! Join us
as BreakOut returns to its roots: community interventions.
