As a platform for “de-institutionalization”, Snail Network strives to bring together members of different institutions in the country, unite their strengths, and work side by side with them to achieve the goal of improving the living standards of people with mental disabilities. Members of Snail Network have experienced a large number of rich and fulfilling personal abilities. The snail network gives members the possibility that they are not available outside, and their leadership is fully explored and played in a patient, step-by-step manner. Many members have become convincing public spokespersons, so that the community can hear their expectations. Some members have also discovered their love for performance, in which they have established many friendships, the most important of which is the self-understanding and self-acceptance of members.
