Abstract

Our concerns regarding mental health have increased due to our participation in a European project on the labour and society insertion of youth suffering from a mental disorder.  The follow-up of this project is a new project whose target group are the elderly suffering from a mental condition. After documentation and study of literature, we have identified some relevant aspects regarding mental health in Romania. Though our country has made significant progress in this area, the socio-professional reinsertion of these people remains an issue. The aim of the project is this particular aspect, i.e. the reinsertion of the mentally disordered people. We believe that social integration facilitates a faster and more efficient recovery. Another aspect identified in the studies but also in practice, refers to insufficient knowledge of the characteristics of mental disorders, hence the population`s attitude and prejudices. We aim through our research to signal and bring awareness upon the fact that mental health is a sensitive area, yet curable like any other disease if interventions use specific tools adapted to the needs of each suffering person.
