Community Support Services
Our community support services consist of district support centre service, community rehabilitation support service, residential respite care service and adult education service. Our district support centre provides services for personal development and support, district-based networking and day care. With regard to personal development and support, training is rendered in the centre, in the living place of the trainee and in the community. Besides, there are recreational activities, groups and support for the caregivers. With regard to district-based networking, community education and community integrative programmes are organized in addition to development of a volunteer network and provision of information. With regard to day care, personal care provided either in the centre or in the living place of the service user is available during daytime. Community rehabilitation support service is a community-based supportive service for people living in the community, with intellectual disabilities or learning delays. Its goal is to help them stay in the community. The service items include drop-in service, recreational activities, book loan, adult education classes, volunteer/leadership training and counselling. Residential respite care service helps parents of people with intellectual disabilities to relieve the stress in caregiving. Adult education service organizes various courses to provide continuing education for the participants.
