Aid agency Carinthia opened doors for mental health in Klagenfurt!

Kumpfgasse 23, 9020 Klagenfurt, Österreich - On May 30th, the Carinthia relief organization invited to the "Open Day" at two locations in Klagenfurt. The events took place both in the social service office and in the new psychotherapy space, which were moved to Kumpfgasse 23 last July. There awaited the visitors: a colorful mix of information offers and culinary delights.

The opening times of the two locations were well chosen: the social service office opened its gates from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m., the psychotherapy rooms were accessible from 9 a.m. to 12 p.m. The aim of the day was to focus on mental health and create a place for encounter. The new psychotherapy rooms offer a pleasant atmosphere with four practice rooms, a group room and an office, designed everything in inviting colors.

mental health and psychotherapy in focus

Head of Sonja Staunig and her team, which includes a social worker and several psychotherapists, attach great importance to the support of people with mental challenges. Psychotherapy is an important healing procedure for the treatment of mental, psychosocial or psychosomatic behavioral disorders. The Carinthia relief organization even offers psychotherapy financed in five districts - including Klagenfurt and Villach. This makes access to professional help considerably easier, especially for people with fears or exhaustion.

Aid organization President Elisabeth Scheucher-Pichler emphasized the central role of psychotherapy in the health system. In the social service office, led by Johannes Dionisio, visitors can: not only indulge in culinary delights, but also obtain important information about the various offers. Particularly noteworthy is the "browse", where durable food, clothing and everyday objects are offered against voluntary donations. Social integration is very important here.

a network for crisis situations

Especially in times of crisis, it is important to get quick help. The Department of Psychiatry and Psychotherapy at the Klagenfurt am Wörthersee Clinic, accessible at 0463/53835103 is one of the points of contact for people who have more difficult psychological problems. As the website Gesundheits.gv.at shows, there are numerous other facilities in Carinthia, including the psychosocial advice centers of Caritas and the Red Cross Carinthia for crisis intervention.

go into the future with a good feeling, that is the motto that the Carinthia relief organization and the various facilities want to convey to their clients. The advice is low -threshold and accessible to all age groups so that every step by step can find better mental health.

The open house day was a complete success and a sign that the promotion of mental health and social exchange were very important. It is only to be hoped that such valuable events will be attended and the offers will continue to be used in large numbers.
