7.

Community Integration: Facilitate community reintegration and participation in meaningful activities by supporting patients in engaging in hobbies, leisure pursuits, and vocational pursuits.

8.

Carer Training and Support: Provide education and training to family members and caregivers to enhance their ability to support the patient's rehabilitation journey and address their ongoing needs.
