What Is ARMHS?
Adult Rehabilitative Mental Health Services (ARMHS) is an educational program for adults with a severe mental disorder that helps participants learn basic activities of daily living.

When the symptoms of mental illness get in the way of an individual’s ability to live a meaningful life, ARMHS can help. Our intent at the Saafi’s ARMHS program is to assist individuals in achieving their personal goals.
Our clients’ ability to retain the skills they learn will be enhanced by others’ understanding of the objectives our clients intend to reach.
In our ARMHS program, each of our clients establishes an individual relationship with a mental health practitioner. Together, they create a personalized plan to help guide the client toward developing the skills required to reach specific objectives and goals. The role of our mental health practitioners is to “do with” the individuals with whom they work, not to “do for” them. By modeling, coaching, encouraging, and teaching skills, our clients can develop a belief in their own ability to achieve what may have seemed unattainable before.
Saafi Behavioral Health Services LLC also believes that collaboration with our clients’ families, friends, and involved professionals is essential.
Saafi Behavioral Health has established partnerships with community service agencies that allow us to access resources that will benefit our clients. We strive to maintain relationships with Social Services, Corrections, housing, and employment sources to advocate for our clients in the most effective possible method.
