Intensive Community Mental Health Recovery (ICMHR)
ICMHR is a community-based, psychosocial rehabilitation and recovery program for Veterans diagnosed with a serious/severe mental illness (SMI). The program consists of a multidisciplinary staff who are committed to working with Veterans in-home and in the community toward reaching individual recovery goals.
ICMHR is based on the Assertive Community Treatment model, an evidence-based approach to working with persons diagnosed with SMI. Core components of the program include highly accessible staff, (at least) weekly home/community visits, skill development, benefits/resource assistance, community integration, and coordination of care.
If you think the program may be appropriate for you, please discuss with your current VA mental health provider.
