Having a mental illness such as schizophrenia may significantly impair the person’s performance in major life activities such as learning, thinking, communicating and sleeping, resulting in great disability. People with psychiatric disabilities need more than just medication and hospitals to help them get better. Achieving confidence through developing life and social skills plays a vital role in enabling persons suffering from mental illness gain personal independence and reintegration into the community.
Psychiatric rehabilitation refers to the education and training given to improve a person with a psychiatric disability to perform those physical, emotional, social and intellectual skills needed to live, learn, work and socialise in the community with the least amount of professional intervention and support necessary.
To assist and empower persons with mental illness to reintegrate back to the community, club HEAL, through its day rehab service, help to Impart Knowledge on topics such as medication and symptoms management, Develop Skills such as communication skills, producing handicraft items and IT skills and Foster healthy Attitudes such as HEAL (Hope, Empowerment, Acceptance and Love) and PACE (Positive, Active, Clear and Energetic).
In the process or regaining confidence of the community to the persons with mental illness, Club HEAL wants to encourage volunteers from various walks of life such as students, housewives, caregivers and professionals from various backgrounds, age groups and races to be the first few friends of the participants of the day service program.

Orang yang menghidapi penyakit mental seperti skizofrenia kemungkinan akan menghadapi kesukaran dalam menjalankan kerja-kerja seharian seperti mempelajari sesuatu, berfikir, berkomunikasi dan tidur, yang boleh menyebabkan ianya menjadi sangat kurang upaya. Orang-orang yang mempunyai jiwa yang kurang upaya yang disebabkan penyakit mental perlukan lebih dari ubat doktor atau penjagaan dalam hospital. Mereka memerlukan bantuan dari segi program-program yang akan membangunkan lagi kemahiran hidup seharian dan kemahiran sosial demi memungkinkan mereka dapat berdikari dan kembali ke dalam pangkuan masyarakat (community reintegration) dengan jayanya.
Pemulihan psikiatrik ialah gabungan kaedah sosial, pembelajaran, pekerjaan, pembinaan akhlak dan pemikiran yang tujuannya untuk mendapatkan penyembuhan dalam jangkamasa panjang dan memaksimakan keupayaan seseorang.
