INTEGRATION INTO THE COMMUNITY OF ELDERLY PEOPLE WITH MENTAL DISABILITIES

Abstract

The topic "Integration in the community of elderly people with mental disabilities" is an important topic forsocial assistance because at present there are relatively few opportunities for integration or social reintegration of people with mental health problems. If mental illness is treated in specialized institutions - clinics, hospitals and psychiatric wards - where patients receive specialized treatment and counseling, the same cannot be said about the actions of integration or social reintegration of those mentally affected at discharge from these units
