A brief synopsis of the project:

In compliance with the CZ 11 Program priorities, the main task of this project is to ensure the complexity of the social rehabilitation of the patients, to help them reintegrate back to the society and their families. Primarily, the project is designed to extend the range of activities for patients, to create space for these and to contribute to the range of open learning programs.

Furthermore, the project helps to create new integration meeting places for similarly challenged people in a protected environment. Also, it provides convenient grounds for implementation of casual educational programs.
