Dept. of Community Reintegration Service
Community Reintegration Service Program
To help with hospitalized patients’ early reintegration into society, social worker’s counseling and social evaluation is conducted on all hospitalized patients to offer a specialized community reintegration program that is in line with the patient’s demand and characteristics.
The Department offers the basic program, which is aimed at providing emotional support to patients and strengthening motivation towards community reintegration, and the customized support program, which consists of social experience and career path support. In addition, the Department provides education to patients in period of convalescence and their guardians, in-hospital collaboration programs with other departments, and other such intensive programs. Also offered are programs that prepare patients to leave the hospital, including home life (smart home) experience, residential environment improvement support, and link to community local resources.
The Department carries out diverse research activities and publishes materials to develop such hospital-based community reintegration service program models and to supply them to other local hospitals.
