What is ARMHS?

Skills-based mental health care, built around your own goals.

Adult Rehabilitative Mental Health Services (ARMHS) is a Minnesota program that helps adults develop psychiatric stability, social skills, emotional adjustment, and the independent-living and community skills that symptoms can make harder. It is sometimes called skills therapy.

Instead of talking in an office once a month, you work side by side with a trained rehabilitation worker on real tasks in real places: your kitchen, the grocery store, the bus stop, the pharmacy. The goal is simple. More stability, fewer crises, and more of the life you want.

Program description from the Minnesota DHS ARMHS provider manual.

FAQ

Common questions

Does ARMHS cost anything?

AIM Health Care is an enrolled Minnesota Health Care Programs (MHCP) provider, and ARMHS is covered for eligible members, including Medical Assistance. We will check coverage with you during intake before services begin.

Where do sessions happen?

Wherever the skill is actually used: your home, a grocery store, a bus stop, a clinic, or another community location. Some community intervention can happen by phone when that works better.

Is this the same as therapy?

No. ARMHS is rehabilitative skills work, not talk therapy. Many people receive ARMHS alongside therapy or psychiatry, and we coordinate with your other providers when you want us to.

I don’t have a diagnostic assessment yet. Can I still reach out?

Yes. Send a referral anyway. We can explain what is needed and point you toward getting an assessment.

Do I have a say in my plan?

Always. Your individual treatment plan is built around your own vision of recovery, and you or your guardian approve it. You get a copy, and it is reviewed with you at least every 180 days.

I’m a case manager. How do I refer?

Use the referral form above and choose “Case manager.” Include the best way to reach you and your client, and we will follow up to coordinate.
