MENTAL HEALTH SUPPORT
Horizon Health’s Mental Health Support features the PEARLS program (Program to Encourage Active, Rewarding Lives) educating older adults about what depression is (and is not) and helps them develop the skills they need for self-sufficiency and more active lives. The program takes place in six to eight sessions over the course of four to five months in an older adult’s home or a community-based setting that is more accessible and comfortable for older adults who do not see other mental health programs as a good fit for them. PEARLS also allows for coordination with their current healthcare providers where appropriate.
PEARLS Offers:
- Empowers older adults by teaching them skills necessary to take action and make lasting life changes so they can lead more active and rewarding lives.
- Offers a client-driven team-based approach.
- Allows collaboration with older adults in their homes or other accessible community settings during six to eight PEARLS sessions over the course of four to five months.
- Improves quality of life, as well as reduces depressive symptoms.
- Supports older adults regardless of their backgrounds and experiences.
