Bay Pines VA Healthcare System

Psychosocial Rehabilitation and Recovery Center (PRRC)

More than eight million Americans and their families live with a serious mental illness. To them Recovery  means living life to its fullest, having relationships, being part of a community, holding down a job, and/or going to school. Recovery is living a satisfying life, with or without the limitations of a psychiatric disability.  Recovery is not a destination, but an ongoing journey.
