What Are PRP Services in Maryland?
Ascend Mental Health provides Psychiatric Rehabilitation Program (PRP) services in Maryland for eligible youth and adults. PRP offers practical, goal-focused support that helps people build skills, improve stability, and function more independently at home, school, work, and in the community.
Practical PRP Services in Maryland, Built Around Real Life
Ascend’s team identifies each person’s needs, develops an individualized rehabilitation plan, and establishes meaningful goals. Activities are then shaped around the skills and support that matter most to that person.
For children, teens, and families
Youth PRP can focus on navigating school, building social skills, practicing self-care, and strengthening interactions with family members, peers, and teachers. The exact focus depends on the young person’s needs and goals.
For adults
Adult PRP can support daily living skills, social connection, work-related goals, community resources, and greater independence. The focus is personalized around the adult’s priorities and daily life.
PRP and therapy can work together
They support different parts of a person’s growth, and one does not replace the other.
Therapy helps you understand
Explore emotions, challenges, patterns, and coping strategies in a therapeutic space.
PRP helps you practice
Build and use practical skills in everyday situations at home, at school, at work, and in the community.
GOOD TO KNOW
PRP is personalized. Goals, activities, and supports should reflect the individual—not a standard checklist.
