Proudly Caring for Veterans

Joshua D. Smith and Associates is grounded in recognizing the needs of individuals and families who suffer from mental illness and continuously pioneer community services aimed at improving or enhancing their quality of life.

We provide professional assistance, counseling, education and advocacy for adults and their families through developing their understanding of the illness and developing the skills necessary to function as an active, contributing member of their community

We believe in the “Team” approach, including the individual, the family, their community and other professionals, in effectively serving individuals.

We subscribe to an approach which identifies and builds upon each other’s strengths, as we learn together, recognizing each individual’s unique gifts, skill and abilities which complement the achievement of their personal goals for independence.

We strive to provide service in such a way as to always be viewed as good value to our payers.

As an organization, we are committed to only the highest ethical and moral standards and values.

We recognize the importance of conducting our business affairs in a profitable, fiscally responsible manner, in order to ensure our ongoing ability to serve people.

As an organization, we are firmly committed to creating opportunities for our staff to set, and achieve their own personal and professional goals.

We endeavor to always be an uplifting factor in the lives of those we serve, and those with whom we come in contact.

We recognize that our main purpose and reason for existence is to serve; as individuals, as work groups, and as an organization as a whole.

While we recognize that we are not the only choice, we will always strive to be the best choice.

Skills Training and Development (Partial Care)

Skills Training and Development (Partial Care) is treatment for adult clients with Serious and Persistent Mental Illness (SPMI) whose functioning is sufficiently disrupted to the extent that it interferes with productive involvement in daily living.

Skills Training and Development (Partial Care) is a structured ambulatory program of therapeutic interventions offering less than 24-hour daily group-based care delivered by licensed, qualified professionals.  These interventions assist members with stabilizing their behavior and conduct, and preventing relapse or hospitalization through the application of principles of behavior change and structured goal-oriented group socialization for skill acquisition.

Skills Training and Development (Partial Care) services vary in intensity, frequency, and duration in order to support clients in managing functional difficulties, or to otherwise realize recovery goals.

Joshua D. Smith and Associates offers Skills Training and Development (Partial Care) at both the Idaho Falls and Pocatello Offices.
