Sprendžiant šią problemą, reikia ne tik medikamentinio gydymo, bet ir socialinės įtraukties skatinimo priemonių, kurios turi prasidėti po ūmaus ligos periodo ir tęstis tiek, kiek reikia asmenį grąžinant į visuomenę. Projekto tikslas – padidinti socialinės įtraukties priemonių prieinamumą ir efektyvumą pacientams, siekiant prisidėti prie socializacijos procesų gerinimo. Projektas regione taikys tokias naujoves kaip „atvejo vadyba“, skatins aktyvų pacientų šeimos narių įtraukimą. Teikiant socialinę ir psichologinę pagalbą tiek gydymo metu, tiek pacientams grįžus į šeimas bei visuomenę, bus apjungti esminiai šių pacientų integracijos etapai - socialinė reabilitacija gydymosi metu, ir palaikymas, grįžus į bendruomenes. Siekiant tikslo, bus sukurtos/pagerintos ir partnerių pradėtos taikyti 4 socialinės integracijos priemonės: 1. Pagerinta socialinės reabilitacijos programa; 2. Sukurta pacientų individualios socialinės reabilitacijos (taikant atvejo vadybą) metodika keramikos darbams; 3. Sukurta pacientų individualios socialinės reabilitacijos (taikant atvejo vadybą) metodika medžio/vytelių pynimo darbams; 4. Sukurta pagalbos pacientų šeimos sistema. Įvyks 3 metodiniai susitikimai, 4 pasidalijimo patirtimi seminarai, kurių metu 42 abiejų ligoninių darbuotojai (po 21 iš kiekvienos) įgys naujų įgūdžių ergoterapijos, socialinės reabilitacijos, psichologinio konsultavimo srityse, įtraukiant pacientų šeimos narius ir visuomenę į šių asmenų socialinės integracijos procesą. Rokiškio psichiatrijos ligoninėje bus įrengtos medžio darbų ir pynimo bei keramikos dirbtuvės, o Daugpilio psichoneurologinėje ligoninėje - šeimų socialinės integracijos centras, įsigyta paslaugoms teikti reikalinga įranga. Tikimasi, kad projekto teikiama nauda kasmet pasinaudos ne mažiau nei 160 pacientų ir 120 jų šeimos narių

Read more Achievements (EN): Currently in Latvia and Lithuania have increasingly focused on social problems of mentally ill persons, their social rehabilitation and integration into society. The major reforms have begun relatively recently in these fields, for this reason there is still a lack of institutions solving problems of these people effectively in the Programme area. The figures illustrating the extent of the prevalence of mental disorders suggest that the medication to solve the problem is not enough. There are the social inclusions measures needed (social rehabilitation, psychological consulting, work skills recovery (occupational therapy), help for families) that are expected to start after the acute illness period and continue for as long as necessary because this is the way to bring back the person to the society and improve his life quality.
The aim of the Project was to increase the availability and efficiency of the social inclusion of mentally ill persons in order to contribute to the re-socialization process improvement in the Cross Border regions of Latvia and Lithuania.
The Project contributed to the reduction of mentally ill persons exclusion by combining the essential stages of disabled person’s integration such as the social rehabilitation during the treatment time and the support after returning into society. The experts of the Project partners by the mutual cooperation have contributed to the fact that both of these stages are quite effective, complementary and long-term.
The package of innovative social inclusion measures (2 methodologies, 1 program and 1 system) was optimized, developed, diversified and applied in Rokiškis and Daugavpils Psychiatric Hospitals:
Developed and adapted the improved social rehabilitation program to mentally disordered persons;
Created and adapted the individual social rehabilitation (through the case management) methodology of ceramic works to mentally disordered persons;
Created and adapted the individual social rehabilitation (through the case management) methodology of wood/wicker weaving works to mentally disordered persons;
Created and implemented the system for family assistance in order to improve the integration into the society of mentally disordered family members.
The innovative approach of inclusion measures was illustrated by using of such methods like a “Case Management”, active involvement of patients’ family members, and the parallel implementation of the social psychological supportive assistance during the treatment period and after the return of persons to families and into society.
There were held 3 methodical meetings, 4 experiences sharing seminars, in which 42 employees of both hospitals (21 from each) increased their qualifications and acquire new skills needed for the provision of the occupational therapy (restore of lost skills), social rehabilitation, psychological counselling services, involving of patients’ family members and society into a process of the social integration of mentally ill people.
In Rokiškis Psychiatric Hospital were repaired and installed wood work/wicker weaving workshop and ceramic studio.

During the Project 214 (29 of them female) patients and 124 (6 of them female) family members got benefit from the Project.
