The program consists of a continuum of care in which beneficiaries build gradually to the end result of reintegration. Program services are facilitated through a comprehensive case management system (individualized support to each beneficiary by an assigned case manager) and ongoing access to basic services (health checkups, non-formal education, awareness building, counseling). 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Friends-International」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
