Andaina Pro Saúde Mental, María López Piñeiro
Andaina Pro Saúde Mental (PSM) é unha asociación sen ánimo de lucro que acompaña a persoas diagnosticadas con Trastorno Mental Grave (TMG) no seu proceso de rehabilitación psicosocial e laboral. Abordamos a saúde mental desde unha perspectiva integral para contribuír á mellora da calidade de vida das persoas e as súas familias a través da provisión de apoios e a facilitación da súa inclusión social e laboral. Desde fai máis dunha década facemos uso da creatividade e o emprego como ferramentas rehabilitadoras. A creatividade constitúe un elemento de relevancia para o benestar individual e supervivencia social, xa que permite ao individuo adaptarse a unha sociedade cambiante. Na nosa práctica clínica, testemuñamos os beneficios que o desenvolvemento laboral e a creatividade achegan aos/ás usuarios/as (beneficios consensuados pola comunidade científica). As persoas participantes nos talleres (arte, creación téxtil, radio e prensa escrita) e do noso Centro Especial de Emprego (CEE), dan fe diso. Con este artigo, pretendemos achegar a creatividade e o emprego como ferramentas rehabilitadoras, así como os beneficios das mesmas da man dos propios participantes.
Andaina Pro Saúde Mental (PSM) is a non-profit association that accompanies people diagnosed with Severe Mental Disorder (SMD) in their psychosocial and labor rehabilitation process. We approach mental health from an integral perspective in order to contribute to the improvement of the quality of life of people and their families through the provision of support and the facilitation of their social and employment inclusion. For more than a decade we have been using creativity and employment as rehabilitative tools. Creativity is an element of relevance for individual well-being and social survival, as it allows the individual to adapt to a changing society. In our clinical practice, we testify to the benefits that employment development and creativity bring to the users (benefits agreed upon by the scientific community). The participants in the workshops (art, textile creation, radio and written press) and in our Special Employment Centre attest to this. With this article, we pretend to approach creativity and employment as rehabilitative tools, as well as their benefits from the vision of the participants themselves.
