PROBLEM TO BE ADDRESSED

A person with a mental impairment and their family members are usually left alone with their problems upon reaching the age of majority. The lack of socialization, limited mobility, limited access to cultural, recreational and sports facilities, difficulties in social communication — all this affects their lives, creates psychological issues and causes a desperate situation. The inability to solve numerous daily problems, including issues of employment, without the support of a tutor eliminates a disabled person’s life prospects.

SOLUTIONS USED

The creation of the center allowed to settle emphasized problems partially and relieve their severity: development of communication skills; participation in cultural and sports events which allow to be involved in public life and take full part in it, thus creating a tolerant, adequate attitude to impaired people in the society, development of a sense of belonging; social and household rehabilitation in a specially created model of a living module, thus allowing to generate and develop social and household skills; relief of psychological tension; normalization of mental state with the help of systemic work of a psychologist: mental diagnostics, therapy, trainings, classes in the sensory room; work with a tutor which helps to enhance professional skills for employment in future.
