New workspace to improve mental health and emotional well-being

The Department of Social Development, Children and Senior Citizens has promoted the creation of a technical workspace for people with mental health problems in Calvià. This initiative was agreed on 8th April and since then the orga- nisations that are taking part in it have held two meetings. The mental health strategic plan indicates the need to create these working spaces for the exchange of information and the development of joint assistance protocols. All this to en- sure the quality and continuing care of people with mental health problems.

When we refer to mental health we do not only refer to serious disorders, but to the difficulties that any person can present at any given time in their life.

The current more individualistic society, the consequences of the pandemic, the demands of social media, social isolation... plus many other factors, can cause us difficulties that can alter our relationship with others, our emotional state, etc.
