Open Horizons Day Centre

The Open Horizon Day Centre is a semi-residential structure, located in the territorial context of District B, with therapeutic-rehabilitative functions. The DSM is part of a network of constituent services, its traversability and its integration with all other services also guarantee the unity of interventions and therapeutic continuity.

Since the Day Centre is one of the main responses to the needs of taking care of the patient, both for the diversification of the services that can be provided and for the articulation that can develop with the natural context of the patient’s life, its mission is to achieve the main health objectives such as:

the promotion of mental health throughout the life cycle;
the reduction of disabling consequences through the reconstruction of an affective, relational and social fabric;
the activation of individual and contextual resources to safeguard the mental health and quality of life of the user’s family unit and of all families with serious relationship problems.

Recipients

The recipients of the Open Horizons Day Centre are adult patients whose psychopathological conditions refer to highly differentiated mental disorders.

workshops for manual/expressive activities (artistic workshop; pastarito kitchen workshop);
