Advancing Psychiatric Home-Visit Nursing

The Japan Psychiatric Home-Visit Nursing Association began its activities in 2022 with the aim of improving the quality of psychiatric home-visit nursing, and was incorporated as a general incorporated association on December 26, 2025.

We carry out a wide range of activities to improve the nursing practice of nurses who provide psychiatric home-visit nursing, and to expand opportunities for everyone involved in this field.

We hope to contribute to the recovery of people with mental health conditions living in the community, the well-being of those involved in psychiatric home-visit nursing, and the global development of psychiatric home-visit nursing.

We look forward to your continued support and cooperation.

Our Philosophy

We support the recovery of people with mental health conditions living in the community by improving the quality of psychiatric home-visit nursing.

Turning the voices of service users and frontline practitioners into evidence-informed care.

Our Values

1. Centered on the life each person wants: We value recovery and aim for care that supports each person’s own choices and the life they wish to lead.
2. Co-production: Service users, families, nurses, other supporters and researchers choose challenges together and create better care together.
3. Connecting experience and evidence: We bring together lived experience and personal narratives with scientific evidence and professional knowledge.
4. Learning and connecting: We create spaces to share concerns and wisdom across regions, professions and organizations.
5. Well-being of those who support: We see the well-being of people working in psychiatric home-visit nursing as the foundation of good care.
