In its second phase, Taiwan counties and cities were required to establish community mental health centers. Unlike other counties and cities, Hualien County integrated the businesses of mental health and substance addiction to establish the Hualien County Center for Mental Health and Prevention of Addiction. The center recruited psychiatrists to lead the integration of mental health–related services in Hualien County to provide comprehensive services catering to people’s needs. With time, the center will increase Hualien residents’ acknowledgement and recognition of the importance of physical and mental health. </p> <p> </p>
