Part I. Service deployment. Changhua County Government has aligned itself with the effort to establish a social safety net and has established service locations across 8 regions of the county, with services available at 1 center, 8 subcenters, and 27 other locations. Part II. Case management. It involves shared care and integrated services that are family-centered. We identify potential cases of mental illnesses, provide them with assistance, and connect them with resources. Part III. Brief introduction to the 6 featured services of the center. (1) Integrated geriatric health check (a.k.a. the 4D health check). (2) Substance abuse prevention: tobacco hazard prevention education. 3. Substance abuse prevention: Lectures on the hazards of Category 3 and Category 4 narcotics. 4. Growth group for caregivers of patients with mental illnesses. 5. Long-term Care 2.0 Plan’s family caregiver support network program. 6. Hospice home care. Part IV. Personnel training. We hope to offer further understanding to the services and resources provided by local community mental health centers, to care for patients, and to ameliorate the stress of family caregivers. </p> <p> </p>
