Vocational Rehab Course Report from Sahudha
Dear jicafriends
We had our individual programs on Monday and Tuesday this week. I found these programs very useful for my project. During the individual programs we were able to get more detailed information on the topics we chose, for instance one of my topic was vocational evaluation, so during the individual program I had a great opportunity to learn about the different components which constitutes vocational evaluation.
Today we visited the NGO JHC network group that provides social and vocational rehabilitation for PWDs with psychiatric problems in the Tokyo prefecture. I was very impressed to see the support services (social skills development, peer counseling, vocational training, sheltered workshops, psychiatric consultation, employment support services are) available for this group of PWDs as we have yet to develop such kind of facilities in our respective countries. The club house movement was very impressive.
Thank you
Best regards
Sahudha
