health, social distancing, and hygiene rules. However, as we still have a long
way to reach an ultimate treatment for such deadly virus, changing human behavior sounds the best defense in tackling… More >

program based on the recovery model of mental illness in Korean communities.
The participants were recruited through flyers, and interested candidates were
screened to determine whether they met the eligibility criteria. The total number
of participants in individual interviews was 10, comprising 5 males and 5 females.
