the Criminal Psychiatric Hospital to continue the rehabilitation process
of targeted patients chosen from among the poorest and most alone, with
the ultimate goal of improving their quality of life and the gradual
process of their return to their place of origin and mainstream society.
The project allows a group of volunteers to take responsibility for
these most at-risk patients through personalized rehabilitation plans of
therapy and care. In addition certain patients will be given the
opportunity to work outside of the hospital.
