In the future, children's welfare institutions will need to expand their mission — from caring for children within their facilities to supporting vulnerable children across the broader community. We will continue advancing our "open-door" approach, extending our quality resources — including care, rehabilitation, and special education — to children in need outside our walls. We will collaborate with hospitals and social organizations to establish a joint rehabilitation consortium, and offer psychological counseling and caregiving skills training to the parents of these children.
