Unstructured time
An important component of the program is teaching individuals how to use leisure and non-structured time in their daily lives. For many professionals who enter the Professionals in Crisis Program leisure time is often out of balance and negatively affecting health and well-being.
The staff considers the use of leisure time and relaxation as important aspects of personal mental health, which is a skill that can be learned. The Professionals in Crisis Program incorporates periods of unstructured time during which the staff coaches individuals in how to use the time effectively and in ways they can use these skills following discharge.
Unscheduled time may be used to do therapy homework, socialize with other professionalswhich is often valuable for self-motivation in managing your illnessrelax with a hobby or activity, read or participate with other patients and staff in planned recreational activities. With approval from staff, group activitieson the unit, on the campus or in the communitymay include events, games and movies.
Supervision by staff
The patient’s treatment team determines the level of supervision the patient needs. Supervision levels change throughout a patient’s stay based on the team’s assessment of the patient’s clinical needs.
The supervision levels and the activities prescribed by the treatment team aim to help the patient accomplish treatment goals and provide for the patient’s safety. As the patient attains their goals, they typically earn privileges to participate in individual and group activities on and off the campus.
