ARMHS is a recovery-based rehabilitative program that enables individuals to develop and improve their psychiatric stability in various areas of their lives, such as mental illness symptom management, interpersonal communication, household management and relapse prevention. Skills that have been lost or diminished due to symptoms of mental illness can be acquired, practiced and enhanced through training and education. Our qualified ARMHS practioners provide one-on-one support both in the home and in the community. (Funded by MA) ARMHS practitioners instruct, assist and support people with many skills and goals, such as:

  • Mental illness symptom management;
  • Healthy lifestyle decisions;
  • Interpersonal communication;
  • Household management;
  • Community resource utilization and integration;
  • Crisis assistance;
  • Relapse prevention;
  • Cooking and nutrition;
  • Transportation access;
  • Medication education and monitoring;
  • Employment-related skills; and
  • Transition to community living services

“Working in ARMHS is being able to provide support to others during the most challenging moments in their life. This job provides the privilege of giving compassion, inspiring hope, and teaching skills required to overcome their current situation.”
