The mental illness may interfere with the performance of major life activities significantly, such as learning, thinking, communicating and sleeping, among others, which results in the disability.
Psychiatric rehabilitation is a combination of services incorporating social, educational, occupational, behavioral and cognitive
interventions aimed at long-term recovery and maximizing their self-efficacy.
Simei Care Centre is one of two psychiatric rehabilitation centres operated by the Singapore Anglican Community Services, a voluntary welfare organization.
The other centre is Hougang Care Centre.
