<p>Disability discourse has evolved significantly over time. Among contemporary frameworks, the human rights model of disability emphasizes the empowerment of individuals with disabilities to exercise their social, economic, and political rights and to overcome structural barriers that hinder the realization of their full potential. Drawing on this model, this study explores the critical role of community-based social welfare services in promoting the social inclusion and quality of life of individuals with psychiatric disabilities in Korea. Utilizing secondary data from <i>A Survey on the Operation and Use of Psychiatric Rehabilitation Facilities and the Human Rights of the Users</i>—the first nationwide and pioneering survey of individuals with psychiatric disabilities who regularly access community psychiatric rehabilitation services in Korea—this study explores how satisfaction with welfare needs is associated with the perceived exercise of rights. Maslow’s hierarchy of needs is used as an interpretive framework. Findings indicate that housing, employment, and belongingness needs are significant predictors of perceived exercise of rights (interpreted as rights-based outcomes). These results underscore the urgent need for integrated, person-centered community mental health and social care interventions to address the complex welfare needs of this marginalized population and to enhance their meaningful participation and autonomy in community life. Given the secondary data and cross-sectional nature of the data, and the absence of a comparison group without psychiatric disability, findings should be interpreted as exploratory rather than as empirical validation of Maslow’s hierarchy.</p>
