Help for mentally ill persons and their relatives

Assistance for mentally ill people aims to cure the disease, prevent its aggravation and alleviate symptoms of the disease. They are intended to enable independent living and social participation. Necessary assistance should be coordinated and agreed with the mentally ill person and their legal representation according to the individual need for treatment, participation and care.

The aid is also intended to relieve and support people who are closely related to mentally ill people as relatives or in other ways.

For adequate care, support and assistance services in the areas of prevention, treatment, housing, promotion of participation and care should be available close to the community.
