Abstract
“SST in which anyone can participate” was conducted in a regional city. During the program, some problems associated with feelings of insecurity regarding the location where anyone could participate regardless of medical care and welfare were observed. On the other hand, many participants who took part continuously were able to make new friends. The results indicate that this trial was valuable for both the promotion of health and the formation of connections among inhabitants. On the other hand, in practical terms, it was thought that the program needed collaboration among staff, local support personnel, and people with mental disabilities.
