Social functioning is defined as the ability to work, maintain interpersonal relationships and take care of oneself. The main goal of the social functioning program is to provide a supportive environment for people whose functionality and contact with the external environment have decreased due to various mental health problems. The program includes activities to improve the physical and mental health of the individual as well as psychoeducational activities for families.
Maintaining ties with social life is important for people's mental health. It is a scientific fact that having a purpose in life and filling your daily life with behaviors towards this purpose protects you from negative emotions such as boredom, depression and mental illnesses.
