Kaikki Töihin 26 Demonstrated That Long-Term Work Pays Off

The Kaikki Töihin 26 (“Everyone to Work 26”) event brought together approximately 300 participants at Metropolia University of Applied Sciences’ Myllypuro campus in March. The event was once again larger than ever before, with attendance increasing significantly from the previous year. This growth is no coincidence. It reflects long-term collaboration, network-building, and the clear need to promote employment opportunities for people with partial work ability.

Customer Satisfaction Survey Is an Important Tool

An annual customer satisfaction survey is conducted for users of Niemikotisäätiö’s housing and psychosocial rehabilitation services (excluding Subleasing Services). The survey explores experiences related to service quality, the impact of rehabilitation, and areas for development.

The Niemikoti Foundation provides client-oriented and professional social psychiatric rehabilitation and preventive mental health services for working-age mental health recoverees in Helsinki. Our work promotes the well-being of society in a responsible, long-term, and non-profit manner.

Guided by Recovery Orientation

A meaningful life is possible even after the onset of a long-term mental illness. We support our service users in actively taking part in decision-making. Together, we aim to inspire hope and support each person on their journey toward a life that reflects their own values and aspirations.

A Multidisciplinary Expert Team

With the help of our professionals in the mental health, substance abuse, and social care fields, the users of our services receive high-quality support for everyday challenges. We pay close attention to our employees’ well-being, motivation to develop, and sense of employer responsibility. The average length of employment with us is over 10 years.

The Goal: Active and Participating Community Members

Through participation and community involvement, it is possible to prevent the accumulation of problems and reduce the need for intensive services. A healthy and active person is a resource both for themselves and for society. Trained experts by experience, peer facilitators, and peer support are also an important resource in our own activities.
