Abstract—The purpose of this research is to explore the mental health services provided by caregivers of a community based rehabilitation centre and the problems encountered by the mentally ill patients. It also sought to propose ways to further improve the psychological well being of the patients in the centre. A narrative inquiry approach and an in depth interview were chosen to get in touch with the social relationship of these patients with their caregivers. The findings revealed the need for more caring, understanding and trained caregivers in the recovery process of mentally ill patients.

Index Terms—Caregivers, community based rehabilitation centre, narrative inquires, caring, policy makers, mental illness.
