Psychiatric patients need educational interventions that help them recover and increase their ability to live and work independently following discharge from the hospital. The psychosocial rehabilitation treatment mall model is designed to meet this educational need. Treatment malls are a new approach to psychosocial rehabilitaion for patients in state psychiatric hospitals. Treatment malls provide psychoeducation and skill-building activities in a centralized, school-like setting for participants from all patient care units. It differs from traditional strategies that use decentralized one-on-one or unit-based models. Treatment malls provide a self-directed learning experience that meets the person-centered needs of participants. Evidence is increasing that this psychosocial educational model can provide lasting benefits for psychiatric patients, including symptom management, reduced psychiatric hospital readmission rates, and improved quality of life.
