Psychiatric Vocational Rehabilitation (PVR) is an approach to employment support that is grounded in over thirty years of development and research at Boston University.   PVR aims to support individuals to consider, choose, get, and keep the competitive employment and educational roles and settings of their choice.  This intensive competency-development training is designed to enhance the skills, tools and knowledge base of employment and educational support providers.
