Summary of project results
The project focused on the deinstitutionalisation of psychiatric care. The subject of the project was the creation of a comprehensive program for the care of psychiatric ill persons in the district of Beroun, which Lomikámen has long been involved in. The aim of the sub-project was to enable the successful transition of patients from the institutional care to other forms of care and their successful and lasting integration into society through this comprehensive care program. The "community-focused" complementary activity was developed on the core of the project. The aim of this supplementary activity was to provide the representatives of the smaller municipalities of the Beroun District with basic information on mental illnesses, a network of social and health services for such ill persons (with emphasis on community care) and to invite them to cooperate with our organization. The core program of the project consisted of four activities devoted to the patient from his stay in the institutional setting, through the transition to outpatient care to the greatest possible integration into society. Activities were: work with a patient / client in an institutional setting (and his / her preparation for outpatient care); field work with the patient; work rehabilitation and education. As part of the complementary activity, the following activities were carried out: contact work with representatives of municipalities; personal meetings with representatives of municipalities and the beginning of cooperation and field work with selected clients in their natural environment.
