Even sick people can help the sick

24. 11. 2015

Even if they are ill themselves (suffering from a serious mental illness) they think of others. We are talking about Mental Health Care clients who work with social workers so that they can live meaningful and independent lives. One of the many services offered is spending time painting. "We couldn't just file away the paintings that were created and not come back to them." Describes the idea for the exhibition Bc. Kristýna Ozsvaldová, the founder of the art meetings and social worker at Care for Mental Health, continues. Their clients are also seriously ill and our paintings can take them out of their gloomy thoughts for a while."



The activities of the association are part of the Individual Project for Social Services of the Pardubice Region II. The projects are financed from the ESF and the state budget of the Czech Republic through the Operational Programme Human Resources and Employment.
