Saúde Mental FEAFES Galicia accompanies 92 people at serious risk of exclusion and with mental health problems

The Galician federation accompanies more than 90 people in Santiago de Compostela at serious risk of exclusion and with mental health problems to promote their integration and improve their quality of life, through a program focused on the needs of the person.

People who live on the streets are prone to mental health problems. Those who reach this situation without having a psychological problem are very likely to see their mental health deteriorate, and those who already had a problem of this nature may see it worsen.

And going from a situation of social exclusion to one of inclusion is not easy, and requires a long period of time. Furthermore, that of homeless people with mental health problems is one of the most radical cases of violation of social rights. Currently, there are hardly any specific mental health care resources for this group, which should include psychological rehabilitation programs¸ and not only cover the basic needs of accommodation, food and clothing.

In Mental Health FEAFES Galicia They firmly believe that, with the right supports, people with mental health problems who are at serious risk or homeless can recover their social skills and reintegrate into society.

For this reason, in 2023, it served 92 people in the Galician capital, through the ‘Care program for people with chronic mental illness, homeless or at risk of exclusion’, financed by the City Council of Santiago; of which 11 went through the transition floors that they manage in the city.
