TSI uses the Psychiatric Rehabilitation philosophy to provide services to individuals with psychiatric disabilities. We will enable individuals to get and keep their chosen living, learning, working and socializing goals by helping them to gain skills and access needed services and supports. We will work in partnership with the individuals to support mental health recovery, foster autonomy and empowerment, and encourage the development of friendships and supports in the community.
