Full textChristian volunteers throughout the United States serve in prison ministry in differing capacities. Some preach during services in chapels; some mentor individuals; others are part of a team which provides transitional programs. One such program is called “The Authentic Christian Man,” which is a Christian discipleship initiative staffed by volunteers at the men’s prison in Concord, New Hampshire in collaboration with the Calumet Halfway House in Manchester, New Hampshire. This inmate program involves a weekly meeting series for three months in the spring and fall, involving teaching and small group conversation. Increasingly, there have been former inmates being released into the Calumet Halfway House. Many former inmates help out at Makeover Ministry and attend 1269 Café, both ministries of Manchester. These men are challenged with the hurdles of adjusting to reconnecting with families, finding work, and establishing homes. In the course of many conversations with these men, the need for a coaching process and Christian evangelism became apparent, which was very timely in these transitional circumstances, reflecting an existing deep need.
The purpose of this ministry project is to draw upon prison ministry experience and to apply transformational, lifeforming coaching with former inmates at the Calumet Halfway House. This ministry project will emphasize the importance of a relationship with our Lord Jesus Christ and the advantages of fellowship in a church body. The approach to evangelism will be encouraging, not arm-twisting. This ministry project will determine the effectiveness of applying a coaching experience with newly released inmates through the use of a coaching and case study method. The overall aim is that former inmate will become proactive and have a fighting chance to embrace a fulfilling life according to their dreams.

Full textENGLISH ABSTRACT: This thesis examines the psychological and social reasons for recidivism among women offenders of the law and explores the impact halfway houses could have on reducing recidivism in SA. Despite the problem of high crime and offender recidivism in SA there is a lack of research into projects within the country that are attempting to address the situation. This paper ascribes to be an authentic voice from one who has had the unique opportunity of observing the SA prison system from within, over a period of 15 years, and one who has sought to assist ex-offenders in their reintegration from prison to society by providing support once outside of prison over the past 10 years. The thesis is auto-ethnographic in design and method. This research examines the reasons for criminal acts among women and seeks to investigate and determine the unique complexities surrounding women and crime. A high prevalence of sexual and physical abuse is corroborated as common precursors to conduct problems in female offenders, while mental ill health is found to be marked among women in prison. Recommendations are made for the establishment of halfway houses in SA and strategies are suggested for the development of such halfway houses.
AFRIKAANSE OPSOMMING: Hierdie verhandeling ondersoek die sielkundige en sosiale redes vir residivisme onder vroue oortreders van die wet en ondersoek die impak wat halfweghuise kan hê op die vermindering van residivisme in Suid-Afrika. Ten spyte van die probleem van hoë misdaad en residivisme in Suid-Afrika is daar nie baie geskryf oor projekte in die land wat probeer om die situasie aan te spreek nie. Hierdie verhandeeling is geskryf om 'n outentieke stem te wees van ‘n persoon wat ‘n unieke geleentheid het om die Suid-Afrikaanse gevangenis stelsel van binne af te sien oor 'n tydperk van 15 jaar, en wat poog om die probleem wat ex-oortreders vind met herintegrasie uit die tronk deur middel van ondersteuning buite die tronk vir die afgelope 10 jaar. Die verhandeling is outo-etnografies in ontwerp en metode. Hierdie tesis neem die redes in ag van kriminele dade onder vroue en poog om die unieke kompleksiteit rondom vroue en misdaad te ondersoek. Die navorsing staaf 'n hoë voorkoms van seksuele en fisiese mishandeling as 'n gemeenskaplike voorloper probleem in vroulike oortreders. Geestesgesondheid is waar geneem onder vroue in die tronk. Die idee van halfweghuise in die Suid-Afrikaanse gemeenskap is op die been gebring. Die artikel stel verder strategie vir die ontwikkeling van die halfweghuise in Suid-Afrika voor.

This study aims to research the perspectives of halfway houses on social inclusion, explore their social inclusion experiences accumulated while implementing psychiatric rehabilitation, and understand how do they respond to the guidelines of institution evaluation in regard of social inclusion. The research method is qualitative depth interview. Through purposive sampling and snowball method, a total of nine halfway house professionals who actually took part in social inclusion services planning and providing participated this research. Data was collected from April 2013 to April 2015. This study found: 1. The participants’ perspectives of social inclusion for people with mental illness treated t them as ordinary people living in community, but they needed to adjust to be integrated into the society. Social inclusion process assisted halfway house residents with rehabilitation training of independent living, which was the prerequisite for future reintegration into society. 2. While promoting social inclusion for people with mental illness, halfway houses faced the outstanding reality of stigma and prejudice from the Taiwan society. In this context, the main methods carried out by halfway houses which treated residents as subjects included: providing community service, planning or encouraging interactional activities, offering independent living training for residents, promoting friendship building and maintaining, strengthening neighborhood relationship, assisting community employment of residents, inviting the outsiders to halfway house or leading out halfway house to the outsiders, and enhancing staff knowledge and ability etc. 3. The social inclusion arrangements in halfway houses were deeply affected by the guidelines of institution evaluation and mostly carried out from medical model perspectives. This study suggests halfway houses promoting social inclusion for people with mental illness shall maintain resident-as-subject perspectives, strengthen understanding and concern about social barriers, so as to protect the rights of residents and improve the inferior situations of people with mental illness. It also advises the government shall strengthen the relevant knowledge and ability of institution employees through education programs, establish and actualize support network platform for people with mental illness, re-examine resource allocations, so to fully include people with mental illness into society.

After years of hard work, the paradigm for services offered to people with chronic mental illness in Taiwan has shifted from the traditional “treatment of illness” towards “community inclusion”. The support network and assistance for community psychiatric rehabilitation offered by halfway houses have a certain level of importance when people with chronic mental illness are returning to the community. The purpose of this research is to understand how social workers of halfway houses view community inclusion for people with chronic mental illness and strategies social workers use to promote community inclusion under the pressure from community residents. It examines the potential challenges halfway houses face when helping patients return to their communities and the solutions used in face of these challenges. Based on the research purposes, the researcher conducted depth interviews to collect and analyze qualitative data. The researcher used purposive sampling for this research by calling and inviting seven interviewees after looking through the Ministry of Health and Welfare’s list of established psychiatric halfway houses. The research results are as follows: 1. Halfway house social workers’ views on community inclusion for their residents: (1) helps residents use community resources to make interactions (2) elevates their ability to reach independent living (3) improves their autonomy in daily life (4) decreases the impact of stigma on mental illness 2. Strategies used when promoting community inclusion services: (1) Empowerment of the residents: improve the residents’ adaptability; letting the residents direct life choices and problem solving (2) Support offered by the organization: promoting work and employment; creating and maintaining relationships with the community 3. Challenges faced when promoting community inclusion and their solutions: (1) Challenges faced when promoting community inclusion: a. Residents’ personal factors: It is more challenging for middle-aged and elderly residents to reach independent living. Residents are unmotivated or unable to return to the community due to the interference from the symptoms of their mental illness. b. Familial factors: Different views on community inclusion among residents, their family members and social workers affect the results of community inclusion. c. Internal factors of the organizations: Lack of finances and raised operating costs limit the manpower and quality for community inclusion promotion. Different standpoints of the social workers and managers make it even more challenging for social workers to implement community inclusion. The burden of trivial administrative work shortens the time social workers have for case work and community inclusion services. Inflexible operating models neglect the principle of prioritizing the needs of residents when designing service programs. Different values held by the different professions impact the outcome of teamwork. d. External environment and the service delivery system: remote locations of the organizations affect resource usage; stereotypes held by the public towards halfway houses, their residents and activities related to community inclusion; community residents’ unfriendly attitude towards halfway houses and their residents; limitations of the service delivery system (2) Solutions to the challenges faced when promoting community inclusion: a. Personal aspect: hosting events suitable for the residents’ participation with the clients’ best interest in mind; communicating and negotiating with the residents; social workers using daily observations to collect information on the residents b. Family aspect: changing the views of family members by letting them see the change in the residents; clearly informing family members of their responsibilities c. Community aspect: answering to community residents’ complaints; using the residents’ self-control to clarify misunderstandings with the locals d. Interprofessional teamwork aspect: cultivate strong team chemistry; learning from each other in interdisciplinary settings; better understanding of each other within the professional team through meetings Lastly, the researcher offers the following advice based on the findings mentioned above: 1. For policy making: (1) Include ideas from multiple sources in performance evaluation to help organizations operate more practically. (2) Make modifications to the healthcare insurance benefit rules and increase manpower to offer services. (3) Raise awareness among the public to help with destigmatization. (4) Improve the current service delivery system. 2. For organizations: (1) Give social workers an appropriate amount of power. (2) Improve team cohesion between the professionals. (3) Create better connections with the family members of the support network.

Abstract In the past decade, the policies with incentives had facilitated the substantial growth in establishment of psychiatric rehabilitation institution (PRI). The Half-Way Houses (HWHs) have mushroomed in urban area of Taipei. By the end of 2004, there are 25 HWHs being set up in Taipei, about one third of the sort in Taiwan, and all belong to private organization. Nevertheless, they are beyond evaluation on their effectiveness and performance. In light of the need for community-based rehabilitation service systems to develop policies of improving the quality of life (QOL) for the residents, the present study examines whether characteristics of the environment of HWHs associated with residents’ quality of life (QOL). The specific characteristics of the environment were depicted with facility, size, staffing, employment, rehabilitation care, management model, resident personality and the degree of variety and stimulation of the physical environment. By method of cross-section analysis based on quantitative and empirical researches, it is expected to find out the significant predictors. Baseline assessments were conducted in March 2005 for 463 residents with mental illness living in 23 HWHs in the city of Taipei. Through interview and staff consultation, a closed-ended questionnaire was developed to gather demographic, health and service information, quality of life assessments, environmental assessments and information about categories of service-related problems. The (GAF) scale was used to assess symptom severity. The entry criteria of the survey were that the residents with GAF scored above 41 had to be verbal, living in the current accommodation for at least 6 months at the time of study. Consequently, the effective sample was 254 residents with mental illness being assessed. Individual responses were coded and then manually entered into a standardized computer analysis program, Statistical Package for Social Sciences (SPSS) Version 11. Data were analyzed by descriptive statistics, independence samples t-test, Pearson correlation and multiple linear regressions. The major results of this cross section study based on quantitative and empirical researches indicated as follows: 1.Participants’ age and education level were higher than that of related researches. Most were single, unmarried. Employment showed lower number, only 4.3% of the informant. Nearly 90% of subjects were diagnosed as schizophrenia. Average length of illness was 17.2 years. At lease 60% of participants were categorized as stable symptom with good functioning and compliance in medication. In a period of one year living in the HWHs, the residents’s relapse occurrence was only 16%. Most of informant entered into HWHs on request of family members. More than 50% of participants were covered by both National Health Insurance and other social welfare. Residents stayed longer than 2 years were 5.6%. 2.Most of HWHs located by the avenues in urban area, accessible by bus or Metro transportation system. House structure was type of ground floor in apartment building or adjacent floors. In regard to the physical environment, there was similar percentage (37.8%vs37.4%) between yard included and yard excluded. Indoor entertainment facility was mostly well-equipped, while private space and application of kitchen function training were partly insufficient. In terms of professional care staffing, many HWHs operate with the assistance of only one trained full-time nurse, while physician, social worker and therapist work part-time. Among caring activities, physical exercise to improve residents’ health apparently fell short of expectations. As for the door control to residents, many HWHs adopt semi-open type of admittance. 3.Subjects did not positively take part in the residential rehabilitation group activities, while a majority of 70% informants joined either in-house service work or supportive employment, which were sort of handicraft or assistant job. Nearly 80% of the workers get the monthly pay lower than NTD2,000, with which, more than 50% of the subjects felt satisfied. Even if not, the expected amount were no more than NTD5,000. 4.A majority of 80% residents agreed that psychiatrics with stable symptom need the job. When self-evaluating physical or psychological condition, they could take a load of 5 hours per day. Among the array of community rehabilitative services, most of the residents were interested in the supportive employment program. 5.As a whole, the quality of life among HWHs residents in Taipei is slightly better than that of middle level. Four categories of quality of life scored 51.66 in average, and physical domain got the highest. The best predictors in each category were listed in sequence as follows: Physical health domain (R2: 0.183): the affecting factors are 1. psychiatric symptom, 2.HWHs location. Psychological domain (R2: 0.094): the affecting factors are 1. psychiatric symptom, 2.outdoor space. Social relationships domain (R2: 0.109): the affecting factors are 1. experience about workshop, 2. satisfaction with work reward, 3. psychiatric symptom. Environment domain (R2: 0.311): the affecting factors are 1. psychiatric symptom, 2. satisfaction with work reward, 3. experience about workshop, 4. HWHslocation, 5. perception to illness, 6. salary. Total QOL (R2: 0.218): the affecting factors are 1. psychiatric symptom, 2. experience about workshop, 3. satisfaction with work reward, 4. HWHs location. The study recommended: 1.Through evaluation mechanism and substantial reward regulation, the government should energize the HWHs organizations, which can dedicate full efforts to buildup good community-based residential environment and rehabilitation activity. 2.To facilitate the goal of rehabilitation and maintain the quality of life, the HWHs residents should be re-categorized severely or mildly and chronic or acute residents into different health management system. 3.By fully executing the Bill of Protection on Mental Disability, the government should energize public and private organizations with service like business to provide assistance part-time job for those of residents with mental illness, and establish objective standard of salary pay for them. 4.Psycho-education courses to staffs in HWHs should be offered, which focused on the integration of community resources, design of rehabilitation programs and contents arrangement of group activity, so as to assure and upgrade quality of rehabilitation services. 5.Aside from the efforts to keep residents' symptom in stable, the institutional philosophy, functional role and job mission in HWHs as well as a comprehensive community rehabilitative support network should be re-evaluated and re-established in order to meet the indigenous socio-cultural environment. 6.The substantial policy should adopt the theory of society model instead of medical model and to build up a social environment with no barriers, to promote the quality of life and well-being for mental ill people dwelling and working in the community. 7.More subsequent researchers are recommends to further up on the quality of rehabilitation services in HWHs, including the way of improving it and developing related evaluation on economic effectiveness of the community psychiatric rehabilitation services.

A heavy burden that falls on families when persons with mental illness so that the families finally desire a long term facilities to undertake the task. In the past, the government passively accommodated the person with mental illness to psychiatric hospital .In 1970s and 1980s, the social policy settled down the patients who were from needy family, and mental health policy increased psychiatric wards. With the advent of the medical insurance, the allowance from the government and it alleviates the burden on families. In 1995, the government launched the National Health Insurance program (NHI). It goes significantly that distinction medical care or long-term care responsibility between Department of Health (DOH) and Department of Social Affairs (DSA). The purpose of this research is to explore the development of psychiatric halfway house in Taipei, discuss the meaning and status of halfway house through the literature and three practitioners’ oral history. NHI assumed responsibility for medical care, while patients didn’t demand medical care but homelessness or a long-term life care requirement, DSA arranged them to the community-based psychiatric halfway house, and they established a stable life in community. In 2000s, NHI kept down the duration of staying in hospitals, they were supposed to discharge from psychiatric wards, but temporary can’t be settled in their home or homelessness. It’s the second waves to bring the quantity of halfway house development. A halfway house offered a housing place, didn’t fear for need, and help them finding a preference life. But halfway house is an extension of the medical care, and it’s a temporary living place. “Rehabilitation” implicated not only the life reconstruction but help them adapt to original family or an independent life. Therefore, some recommendations are as follows: 1. Suggest a research topic include: family care, long-term care facilities or independent living, and evaluate the effect of rehabilitation. 2. The families should join the rehabilitation programs in halfway house frequently and contribute a familiar relationship to promote the person with mental illness to adapt family life. The task of rehabilitation is to steady them every living days, to express an active autonomy and independence, to choose a preferable family life and independent living. It aimed at reconstructing a stable lifestyle. 3. Whether health policy or social policy, we found a viewpoint of medical care and long-term care but fragment. They hope a steady everyday life. When discharge from hospital to halfway house or self-reliance, they have to reconstruct their life. These processes present discontinuous institutional services. Case management may be availably and continuously services when leaved institutional care and live in the community.
