What does family involvement mean at Niemikotisäätiö?
Niemikoti Foundation’s day activity units organize various annual events, which are also open to the family members and close ones of service users.
Family members are also welcome to participate in Niemikoti Foundation’s expert-by-experience activities and training.
Once a year, an event is held specifically for the family members and close ones of all service users, offering information about the foundation’s activities, support available for families, and opportunities to discuss concerns.
Niemikoti Foundation collaborates with FinFami, the Central Association for Mental Health Families.
Niemikoti Foundation’s activities are based on a recovery-oriented framework, with its core ideas presented in the attached brochure.
