According to Patricia B. Nemec and Kathleen Furlong-Norman (2014), psychosocial rehabilitation or psychiatric rehabilitation began in the late 1940’s in New York City to restore the health and well-being of individuals with mental illness, mental impairment, psychiatric diagnosis, emotional disturbance or psychiatric disorder. The main focus was to assist people to live meaningful and successful lives after being institutionalized due to social domain dysfunctions (Nemec & Furlong-Norman, 2014). Although psychosocial rehabilitation programs provide various skills, personal growth, and empowerment, the services encourage self-determination to utilize personal and natural support networks within society.

During my junior year’ community Learning Center placement (CLC), I interned at The Guadalupe Alternative program (GAP). This placement helped me developed, maintained, and implemented the aspects of the generalist social work practice’s vision. While working with 30 clients, I took on the role of an advocate.

For the last 4 years I have dedicated all of my energy to exploring the field of community mental health services. This has been something that I have been interested in all through my undergrad years at Merrimack College. While I received my Bachelor of Arts in Psychology and had an internship in a center against domestic abuse in Lawrence, MA, I still did not have a clear picture of what the field entails. I believe that working in the Massachusetts Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Children (MSPCC) since 2013, has given me the knowledge and technical experience to succeed within the field. I manage two roles at MSPCC, which are that of a therapeutic staff and support in in-home therapy cases, and the other as an outpatient intern.
