Rawlings Community Counseling expands services

BONNERS FERRY — Rawlings Community Counseling has announced that a full range of Community Based Rehabilitation Services (CBRS) are now available to area residents with a mental health diagnosis.

The CBRS program, formerly known by the initials PSR (psycho-social rehabilitation) seeks, in a variety of ways, to enhance the quality of life for those with disabilities and for their families. Clients are actively assisted in developing the skills necessary to participate more fully in family and community life.

Treva Rawlings of Rawlings Community Counseling said “Greater independence and an enhanced quality of life is our goal.”

She added, “Our clients become active partners in this process. We use the challenges of daily life to teach individuals and families how to solve problems, develop skills, and meet challenges successfully.”

These community based rehabilitation services are designed to more fully integrate those with difficulties into their larger community. Natural community settings (such as home, businesses, and social environments) provide ongoing opportunities to strengthen the client’s confidence in and satisfaction with life.

“We are like coaches,” Rawlings noted. “We want to help our clients grow. We also want to assist them in accessing the services and opportunities that will improve their lives.”

Contact Rawlings Community Counseling at its new location, 6807 Cody Street or call 267-0900 to find out if CBR Services are right for you or for someone you know.
