Hey The Algarve will be “the first region in the country to implement it”, with financial support from the Plan for Recovery and Resilience (PRR), the Day Promotion and Independence unit of the National Network for Integrated Continuing Care (RNCCI), “a type of unit that had been planned since 2006, but never materialised.” Except now,” the Piaget Institute said in a statement.
The project is the result of a collaboration protocol between the Piaget Institute, the Associazione Friends of Pequeños de Silves and the Municipality of Silves, and aims to “enrich responses in mental health care” in the Algarve and Baixo Alentejo, and to expand the RNCCI in Integrated and Continuing Mental Health Care (CCISM) settings.
This equipment aims to provide “integrated supportive care, promoting independence and social support, in outpatient clinics, for people with different levels of dependence,” and will be ready to receive “users of different ages, including adolescent children and adults.” The institution highlighted.
“In addition to all the benefits to society by expanding the national network of integrated and continuous mental health care, this project will also contribute to the training of professionals specialized in the field of mental health support,” explained Roy Thomas, Secretary General of the Piaget Institute mentioned in the memorandum.
The facilities will also be an “excellent platform for conducting vocational or systematic training,” encouraging the creation of new job opportunities in the region, the person in charge said.
The partnership with the Piaget Institute, which provides the Society of Friends with part of its facilities available on the Silves campus, is financed within the scope of the PRR, whose contract forms part of a global investment of €1.4 million aimed at strengthening the RNCCI response in the Algarve region.
This investment is part of the National Integrated Continuing Care Network and the National Palliative Care Network component of PRR.
“The implementation of this new mental health equipment at the Escola Superior de Saúde Jean Piaget in Silves is an important step towards improving healthcare provision in the region. We are convinced that it will contribute to strengthening the resilience of the healthcare system and ensuring greater equal access to high quality services,” concluded Roy Thomas.
