The internet was only just emerging, digital skills were not part of rehabilitation, and no one talked about digital inclusion.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size\">Over the course of three decades, Heinil\u00e4 has been involved in developing work that helps people find direction in their lives. In recent years, strengthening digital skills has become a key part of that work.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size\">Now, after a long career, he is retiring.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size\">Such long careers are rare in the social and health care sector today, but at Niemikotis\u00e4\u00e4ti\u00f6 they are not an exception. In this article, you will hear an experienced professional\u2019s reflections on how the work, clients\u2019 needs, and the entire operating environment have changed over the years\u2014and which things have remained the same.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n<style>.kadence-column50717_1d597b-c6 > .kt-inside-inner-col,.kadence-column50717_1d597b-c6 > .kt-inside-inner-col:before{border-top-left-radius:0px;border-top-right-radius:0px;border-bottom-right-radius:0px;border-bottom-left-radius:0px;}.kadence-column50717_1d597b-c6 > .kt-inside-inner-col{column-gap:var(--global-kb-gap-sm, 1rem);}.kadence-column50717_1d597b-c6 > .kt-inside-inner-col{flex-direction:column;}.kadence-column50717_1d597b-c6 > .kt-inside-inner-col > .aligncenter{width:100%;}.kadence-column50717_1d597b-c6 > .kt-inside-inner-col:before{opacity:0.3;}.kadence-column50717_1d597b-c6{position:relative;}@media all and (max-width: 1024px){.kadence-column50717_1d597b-c6 > .kt-inside-inner-col{flex-direction:column;justify-content:center;}}@media all and (max-width: 767px){.kadence-column50717_1d597b-c6 > .kt-inside-inner-col{flex-direction:column;justify-content:center;}}<\/style>\n<div class=\"wp-block-kadence-column kadence-column50717_1d597b-c6\"><div class=\"kt-inside-inner-col\"><div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"alignright size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"800\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/niemikoti.fi\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/Katjalle1-800x1024.jpg\" alt=\"Mies seisoo lumisessa maisemassa tiilisein\u00e4n edess\u00e4 auringonpaisteessa.\" class=\"wp-image-50672\" style=\"aspect-ratio:0.7815695006134412\" srcset=\"https:\/\/niemikoti.fi\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/Katjalle1-800x1024.jpg 800w, https:\/\/niemikoti.fi\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/Katjalle1-234x300.jpg 234w, https:\/\/niemikoti.fi\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/Katjalle1-768x983.jpg 768w, https:\/\/niemikoti.fi\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/Katjalle1-1200x1536.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/niemikoti.fi\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/Katjalle1-1601x2048.jpg 1601w, https:\/\/niemikoti.fi\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/Katjalle1-1320x1689.jpg 1320w, https:\/\/niemikoti.fi\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/Katjalle1-scaled.jpg 2001w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Timo Heinil\u00e4 in the yard of the Mieli T\u00f6ihin unit, spring 2026<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>\n\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">A New World at Eira Care Home<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Heinil\u00e4\u2019s career at Niemikotis\u00e4\u00e4ti\u00f6 began at the Eira care home in 1996.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cI saw a job advertisement in the newspaper for a housing unit for men with multiple challenges. I had no experience in outpatient psychiatric work. It was a completely new world.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The work was demanding at times. The residents faced many different challenges, and everyday life included intervening in substance use and confiscating dangerous objects.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cIt was an eye-opening experience. At times it felt like this was not rehabilitation work but simply surviving from one day to the next. But it was an important beginning for my career.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>After two years, Heinil\u00e4 moved on to a role that would shape his career for a long time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Building the&nbsp;<em>Mieli T\u00f6ihin<\/em>&nbsp;Programme<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>In 1998, Heinil\u00e4 joined the&nbsp;<em>Mieli T\u00f6ihin<\/em>&nbsp;project. The initiative had begun as an EU-funded project exploring whether people recovering from mental health challenges could be supported in returning to working life.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cWhen I joined, the project was just ending. Jouni Nisula and I essentially started planning together how the activities could continue.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Funding from the Finnish Slot Machine Association made it possible to develop the work in a more long-term way. In the early stages, external trainers were also involved, and job coach training brought additional expertise.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cIt was a really interesting time. We were able to influence a lot what kind of work we did and how the activities were developed.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Cooperation with the employment administration also brought coaching periods for long-term unemployed people. The team was multidisciplinary, and the content of the work was continuously developed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cIf something didn\u2019t work, we changed it. That mindset has remained in client work to this day.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Moving to the Fire Station and into Digital Skills<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>When project funding ended, the activities moved under city funding. At the same time, the&nbsp;<em>Mieli T\u00f6ihin<\/em>&nbsp;programme relocated in 2010 to the fire station on Maistraatinkatu.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"alignright size-large is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"612\" src=\"https:\/\/niemikoti.fi\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/Katjalle3-1024x612.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-50665\" style=\"width:688px;height:auto\" srcset=\"https:\/\/niemikoti.fi\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/Katjalle3-1024x612.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/niemikoti.fi\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/Katjalle3-300x179.jpg 300w, https:\/\/niemikoti.fi\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/Katjalle3-768x459.jpg 768w, https:\/\/niemikoti.fi\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/Katjalle3-1536x918.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/niemikoti.fi\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/Katjalle3-2048x1224.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/niemikoti.fi\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/Katjalle3-1320x789.jpg 1320w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">The Mieli T\u00f6ihin unit is located in a former fire station.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p>Over the years, the focus of the activities increasingly shifted toward strengthening digital skills.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cWe combined job coaching with information technology. Digital skills were becoming an increasingly important part of everyday life and working life.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A key role in this development was played by IT instructor Matti Laitila, who was responsible for computer training in the unit for many years and was an important member of the team.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For a long time, the unit organised IT driving licence examinations, of which hundreds\u2014possibly even more than a thousand\u2014were completed over the years.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Today, they have been replaced by TIEKE\u2019s digital competence badges.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThey allow people to demonstrate IT skills at different levels. They are a good way to strengthen digital inclusion and show competence.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Under Timo Heinil\u00e4\u2019s leadership, Niemikotis\u00e4\u00e4ti\u00f6 has also introduced its own competence badges. Currently, the&nbsp;<strong>Digital Competence<\/strong>&nbsp;and&nbsp;<strong>Data Protection Competence<\/strong>&nbsp;badges are in use, and a&nbsp;<strong>Work Life Skills<\/strong>&nbsp;badge system is also being prepared.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Individual Support and Peer Support<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Client work has changed over time. Previously, the activities mainly consisted of course-based group programmes, but today the focus is on individual support.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cPeople come here at individually agreed times. Some need a lot of support, while others work more independently.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A particularly important service has become the micro-support service, where clients can quickly get help with digital problems. Peer support instructors also play a significant role.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cWithout their contribution, we would not be able to offer such diverse services.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Meeting People at the Core of the Work<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Over thirty years, Heinil\u00e4 has met an enormous number of people. According to him, the greatest lesson has been about encountering people.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cIf you want to go deeper than the surface, you have to give people time. Trust is not built instantly.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>He also emphasizes the importance of humanity in the work.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cWe are all on the same level. Even though you have a professional role, humanity is always present. When you are yourself, people sense it. That builds trust.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>According to Heinil\u00e4, recovery-oriented thinking has always been strongly present in the work, even though the terminology has changed over the years.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cPeople talk about recovery orientation now, but the basic principles have not changed. Meeting people, listening, building trust, and helping\u2014those are the core of this work.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">A Change for the Work Community as Well<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>After such a long career, retirement brings many emotions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThis is a somewhat strange emotional transition. I have been in this unit for so long that a lot of memories inevitably come to mind.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Leadership of the&nbsp;<em>Mieli T\u00f6ihin<\/em>&nbsp;coaching unit will pass to Anne Jukkara. According to Heinil\u00e4, the transition has been prepared well in advance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cI told Anne that at first it\u2019s worth taking time to get to know people and the activities. Once trust is built and the whole picture becomes familiar, it\u2019s a good time to start moving things forward.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The responsibilities of the process lead for work and coaching activities will transfer to Emma Heikkinen.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cEmma knows the foundation\u2019s work well and has developed the activities in a determined way. I believe the work will remain in good hands.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"alignright size-large is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"768\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/niemikoti.fi\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/Helmi-768x1024.jpg\" alt=\"Mies hymyilee ottaessaan selfie-kuvaa koiransa kanssa ulkona puiden taustalla.\" class=\"wp-image-50663\" style=\"width:542px;height:auto\" srcset=\"https:\/\/niemikoti.fi\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/Helmi-768x1024.jpg 768w, https:\/\/niemikoti.fi\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/Helmi-225x300.jpg 225w, https:\/\/niemikoti.fi\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/Helmi-1152x1536.jpg 1152w, https:\/\/niemikoti.fi\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/Helmi.jpg 1158w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 768px) 100vw, 768px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Timo and Helmi smiling happily<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Nature, Exercise and Motorcycles<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Outside work, Heinil\u00e4 describes himself as a physically active person. Nature is an important way for him to recover.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThe best way for me to clear my mind is to go into the forest with my dog.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Exercise is part of everyday life: cycling, walking and open-water swimming. Reading and music are also important. In the summer, however, one thing stands above the rest.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cI always look forward to the start of the motorcycle season. My brother and I are planning a longer trip to Southern Europe.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What Will He Miss?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>When moving into retirement, Heinil\u00e4 believes he will miss the people the most.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThere is a really great work community at the foundation. Our own group here at the fire station is, of course, the closest.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The working environment has also been unique.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThis old fire station has its own atmosphere. And the nature next to it\u2014you get to watch it change from season to season.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Courage to Try Something New<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Finally, Heinil\u00e4 wants to give advice both to clients and to employees.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cMake use of the foundation\u2019s diverse services. It\u2019s a great opportunity.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>His message to employees is clear.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cBe brave and try new things.
