ASB Society for Mental Health Ltd

Promoting mental health

We have been working on this for many years,

• how mental health can be maintained and mental illnesses prevented by positively influencing living conditions,
• how mental balance can be restored,
• how people with severe mental illnesses can cope with their everyday lives.

In our consultations, you will learn specifically about the available options and, above all, what contribution you can make to ensure the success of the collaborative process. The ultimate goal is always to develop your own coping skills as quickly as possible.

Individual support

Treatment and participation services are available to people with mental illnesses when they need support. Those who need help don't want to overcome bureaucratic hurdles and want to receive an offer promptly.

Information and participation

Our aim is not simply to "implement concepts," but to collaboratively develop individually tailored support. This cannot be achieved without the active participation of people requiring support and their families.

Support means that our service is not a "product" but part of a process: developments in people with support needs and the actions of our employees are interdependent.

These projects promote opportunities for information and participation:
