Assessing people with psychiatric rehabilitation needs

In this module, we provide a framework for guiding rehabilitation assessment. We also emphasise the importance of considering risk and other challenging behaviours which may limit participation.

This module offers guidance on:

• the purpose of assessment and a model for guiding this process,
• adopting a broad approach to the assessment of symptoms, social functioning and recovery,
• evaluating risk and challenging behaviours,
• an approach to formulation and applying the assessment to goal planning.
