The biggest challenge to recovery is not the illness itself nor the costs of medication but the pervasive stigma from society that becomes internalized in the psychiatrically disabled.
Simei Care Centre also offers various programs to equip caregivers of our clients with skills that will help to manage better. The Caregivers Program includes:
Caregiver support group, where caregivers gather and share their experiences with one another
Family Link Program, where the centre conducts sessions covering topics such as Understanding Mental Illness and Handling Crisis
