Mental Health Services

The purpose of ARMHS is to help the client learn to use mental health, health care and community resources to better manage symptoms, meet their independent living needs, and achieve a higher quality of life. Where clients need them, ARMHS practitioners do not provide direct care services (such as housekeeping, personal care or transportation) directly to clients. Rather, they connect the client with community and health care resources and teach them how to use these services and advocate for their needs.

​

Qualified ARMHS practitioners from Nexus meet with clients multiple times per week. With the client, the practitioner develops a Treatment Plan focused on his or her self-identified goals and recovery vision, and provides treatment services for:

​

• Coping with mental health symptoms

• Medication education and monitoring

• Basic social and living skills

• Interpersonal and self-advocacy skills

• Parenting skills

• Healthy socialization and leisure skills

• Personal care and independent living skills

• Financial resources and money management

• Obtaining and maintaining housing

• Obtaining and using transportation

• Employment readiness

• Educational preparedness

• Transitioning to community living from long-term treatment or hospitalization
