Psychiatric Rehabilitation


Runs as a day treatment program and includes psychotherapy, family psychoeducation and case management.

KEH specializes in psychiatric rehabilitation, distinguishing us from other mental health care providers. Our day treatment program includes individual psychotherapy, group therapies, family therapies, counseling, and case management, operating six days a week. The goal is to reintegrate patients into society and help them become functional members.

Using a three-step recovery approach for both inpatients and outpatients, the program focuses on symptom management and developing daily living and vocational skills. The ultimate aim is to achieve functional recovery for all patients.

The Rehabilitation program (also referred to as the Day Care program) has various therapeutic groups to facilitate patients’ recovery.

  • Clinical Group Therapies
  • Skill-Building Groups
  • Leisure and Lifestyle Groups
  • Out-Patient and Psychological Clinics

The program is evidence-based, with the following key features:

  • Illness Management and Recovery
  • Family Psycho-Education
  • Sheltered Employment
  • Case Management
  • Wellness Recovery Action Plan
  • Group-Analytical Psychotherapy for Psychosis

Psychiatric Rehabilitation Program at Karwan-e-Hayat

Karwan-e-Hayat’s Psychiatric Rehabilitation program operates as a day treatment program that includes psychotherapy, family psychoeducation, and case management. Our primary goal is to enable patients to return to mainstream life. This evidence-based program was initially introduced, taught, and monitored by faculty members of Rutgers University, USA.

Integration of Treatment and Rehabilitation

At Karwan-e-Hayat, we recognize that not all individuals with mental illness require rehabilitation. For many patients, medication or a combination of treatment and therapy is sufficient to help them return to functional life. However, for others, rehabilitation may be the essential final part of the treatment cycle.

Evidence-Based Practices

Karwan-e-Hayat is the first mental health organization in Pakistan to adopt evidence-based practices from Rutgers University, USA, under the long-term supervision of their faculty members. Our practices include the Illness Management and Recovery (IMR) program, Family Psychoeducation, and Case Management. Additionally, we offer the Wellness Recovery Action Plan (WRAP) and sheltered employment to patients. Our multi-disciplinary team of qualified psychologists, occupational therapists, and social workers collaborates with psychiatrists to guide patients toward recovery and healthy lives.

Illness Management and Recovery (IMR)

Research shows that patients who learn more about their illness can take significant steps toward recovery. In IMR sessions, patients are educated about their illnesses and helped to develop strategies to manage their symptoms and achieve personal goals.

Case Management (CM)

Case Management provides the coordination of treatment, rehabilitation, and support services for patients. It plays a crucial role in preventing relapses and hospital stays, thereby improving patients’ quality of life.

Family Psychoeducation

Families and caregivers are provided with accurate information about the illnesses of their patients and are guided to reduce family stress and develop coping skills.

Wellness Recovery Action Plan (WRAP)

Developed in 1997 by individuals with mental illnesses, WRAP is now widely used to address mental health and life issues. It helps practitioners formulate wellness tools, recognize early warning signs, and create crisis plans.

Sheltered Employment

Karwan-e-Hayat offers recovering patients the opportunity to engage in paid work for 3-6 months in the IT or maintenance departments. This work is supervised by the patient’s Case Manager and Clinic Incharge and serves as the first step toward reintegration into society.

Focus on Comprehensive Treatment

At Karwan-e-Hayat, we emphasize both treatment and rehabilitation to help individuals become functional and enjoy life to the fullest.
