Rehabilitation Program
Overview
The BHDF Rehabilitation Program provides coordinated recovery support for people affected by conflict, displacement, chronic illness, and injury. Our approach combines three pillars — mental health care, physiotherapy, and prosthetics — so patients can recover with dignity.
Rehabilitation is treated as a long-term process, not a one-time intervention. We work with patients, caregivers, and local health workers to build practical care plans that can continue in community settings.
Mental Health
Our mental health services provide culturally sensitive support through multiple modalities:
- Art Therapy for mental well-being — creative expression as a pathway to healing
- Group Counselling sessions — shared experience and collective support
- One-to-One Counselling — individualized care for processing trauma and emotional distress
Physiotherapy
Physiotherapy services focus on strength, mobility, pain management, and functional recovery after injury or illness. The program includes:
- Physiotherapy Assistant Worker Training — building local capacity to sustain services
- Physiotherapy Sessions — guided exercises, treatment plans, and ongoing assessment
- Family and caregiver guidance for daily rehabilitation routines
Prosthetics
For patients who need prosthetic or mobility support, BHDF coordinates referral, fitting, and follow-up in partnership with The Prosthesis Foundation of H.R.H. The Princess Mother (มูลนิธิขาเทียม ในสมเด็จพระศรีนครินทราบรมราชชนนี). This collaboration ensures patients receive quality prosthetic services and ongoing adjustment support.
Community Reintegration
Recovery is most effective when people can return to daily life, family roles, and community participation. This program supports that transition through practical home-based rehabilitation guidance and continued case follow-up.
