Services provided by the psychologists in the Center include:  group psychological assessment(screening), individual psychological assessment(counseling), individual psychotherapy(counseling), group psychotherapy (counseling) and follow-up counseling. The objectives for inmates are to regain mental health and exterminate their dependencies on illicit substances. Details are as follows:

1. Group psychological assessment (screening):

When people receiving rehabilitation treatments first arrive at the Center, through a standard group assessment, emotions, physical and mental states and histories of mental illness of inmates will be preliminarily screened. Inmates who suffer from maladaptation or mental disorders can be detected and treated in the early stage; if required, they can be transferred for further treatments.

2. Individual psychological assessment (counseling):

Assessment against an individual’s mental states is conducted based on psychological methods and knowledge. Our professional psychological assessment tools to assess inmates are featured with great credibility, validity and norm-referenced. Alongside systemic interviews and behavioral observations, overall evaluations on inmates’ mental states, personality traits and underlying issues provide references for future psychotherapies(counseling) and follow-up counseling.

3. Individual psychotherapy (counseling):

Through one on one psychotherapies, inmates who suffer from emotional distress, mental illness, personality disorders or require attention are provided with psychological treatments against issues they experience. During therapies, inmates are instructed with emotion and stress management techniques, problem-solving skills, and approaches to sustain mental health. Through medium- or long-term one on one counseling, inmates receive ongoing support, which gives them strengths to look forward to the future with healthy meaningful purposes.

4. Group psychotherapy(counseling):

For those people receiving rehabilitation treatments who have similar backgrounds and personal traits, they are grouped into small teams; this allows them to discuss issues they care about, to share common experiences, and to grow together. Our psychologists will lead those groups, encourage group members to exchange their experiences and ensure group orders. By further promoting communications and influences between members, they hope inmates’ self-awareness will be elevated to the next levels and be motivated to change for better lives.

5. Follow-up counseling:

When rehabilitated inmates are discharged from the Center, for those who request or are willing to be contacted, follow-up counseling is offered; follow-up options include mail correspondence, phone consultations, or face to face sessions at the Center..
