Dr. HuiChing Wu is a professor at Dept. of Social Work, National Taiwan University, a LCSW in Taiwan. She has over 30 year clinical experience in mental health, trauma, substance use and criminal justice and conduct more than 30 evidence based studies funded by Ministry of Science and Technology (NOST), Ministry Health of and Welfare (NOHW), Ministry of Justice (MOJ), or city government. The study topics focus on the female substance use, family based intervention, mental health, stigma, human rights and trauma. She also had projects and publications involving international collaboration with CSSW in NYC, TRI and UpennSP2 in Philadelphia, HK Baptist University, and Oxford University/NIHR in UK. 

Her specific research interests are female survival from trauma experience, illicit drug user family interventions, trauma-informed care, empowerment and community reentry. For the female drug use inmates, they would encounter several challenges (e.g. being abused, stigmatized and traumatized, housing, taking parenting and family support role, employment etc.) after post-incarceration and need more health, justice and social services system to assist them. She used the feminist approach to analyze the diverse needs of female drug use inmates reentry the community and how to be satisfied by the social services systems. She also conducted the RCT indigenized Sucht Hilfe Familien Training (SHIFT) research to educate parental substance users properly parenting their children, to prevent the children from maltreatment, and to enhance children’s physiological development. Most recently, she conducted a indigenized Trauma Recovery and Empowerment Profile (TREP) model for substance use female experienced from trauma experience in Taiwan.

One of her project "The predictors of community reentry for female drug use inmates" It examine the impact of integrating evidence-based prevention and treatment interventions across multiple community-based systems (e.g., health care, behavioral health, and justice), looking at the coordinated systems of care, improving retention in treatment, and increasing access to recovery support services. 


Dr. Wu is also a former co-PI of Institutes of Substance Treatment and Research in Taipei (ISTART) where provides the best practice, training, education and empirical study for the substance users, caregivers, and practitioners. She participated in policy making, criminal justice and mental health welfare reform by serving in the national and local government committee board. Her study investigated how would the formal care system contribute to the female inmates reintegration.
