The full involvement of the client and his or her family in the rehabilitation process is the foundation of the universally accepted belief in client-centered care. Client-centered care or client-centeredness is defined as the process of positioning the client at the center of the decision making process, and fully encouraging him or her to assume full responsibility for health and wellness. The FSRI believes that being in a health state means more that the absence of disease -- it means the ability to exert control over one’s own physical, emotional, and spiritual well being. This is why the motto at the FSRI is “Heal. Empower. Thrive.” The FSRI fully subscribes to the tenants of client–centeredness, and as such, will offer monthly educational session on health and wellness topics important to Kuwait. For example, the incidence rate of obesity and diabetes in Kuwait is among the highest in the world, meaning that the number of new cases of diagnosed obesity and diabetes is higher than that of other Gulf states or other countries. Using a public health framework, it is essential to address this critical and alarming issue before diagnosis, or what is know as an ‘up-stream’ preventive approach. The purpose of these public talks at the FSRI is to raise awareness of health and wellness issues in Kuwait with the goal of minimizing the impact at the population level.
