Valley Mental Health's Tooele County:

Psycho-Social Rehabilitation
Psycho-Social Rehabilitation works as a clubhouse model and believes in a philosophy of equality between members and staff. Valley Mental Health has a unique relationship with an independent community board. It believes work is important for all people, including individuals with emotional disabilities. Everyone has the ability not only to grow and adjust to their environment, but also to contribute productively. The objective is to develop self-confidence, dependability, and a feeling of self-esteem among members. It includes many functions, one of which is to give members an opportunity to participate as colleagues. It incorporates several different work units which are important in the maintenance of the clubhouse. Participation in these units gives members an opportunity to develop different skills and feel like an important part of the club.

In-Home Skills
The main objective of this service is to promote living skills of self-care, such as personal hygiene, cleanliness, money management, food planning and preparation, shopping, and improving relationships between neighbors, landlords, and roommates through the case-management model.

Clients live independently, with no staff members on site. They are assisted in learning to accept the regulations, accountability, and limitations required for successful community living.
 

Case Management
Valley Mental Health's Case Management is a care delivery system for a select population of severely and persistently mentally ill consumers who have been institutionalized for a significant period of time and require extensive outpatient services to prevent further institutionalization. Case Management replaces the structure of the hospital, nursing home, and/or residential facility by providing a different level of support in the community. This level of support, provided by a case manager, enables the consumer to effectively utilize community resources. The relationship developed between the case manager and the client appears to be a key factor in the client's ability to
reach and maintain an optimal level of wellness.
