Development of Social Services in Rokiškis and Daugavpils Mental Hospitals (SocServices)
Start date: Nov 30, 2010, End date: May 30, 2013 PROJECT  FINISHED 

Number of mentally-disabled people in Latvia – Lithuania border area is large. It is growing and only a small part of the disabled successfully integrate into the society. Therefore, social rehabilitation services are relevant and necessary. Mental disorders, unlike other disorders, need specific social rehabilitation. Rokiškis Psychiatric Hospital and Daugavpils Psycho-Neurological Hospital are the largest and the only institutions of such kind that provide social rehabilitation services to the inhabitants of Panevezys and Latgale regions. The cooperation between the two institutions, exchange of experience among the employees and preparation, implementation of joint social rehabilitation programmes would allow improving social services provided to the mentally disabled. Institutions will develop a strategy and create a base for long-term cooperation of the employees. Project will improve accessibility of knowledge and skills to social groups exposed to risk of exclusion. It will also enable them to refresh or acquire new social skills that will foster patients integration into the society after leaving hospital.
