A rehabilitation programme for people with mental health issues who wish to improve their health through lifestyle changes
Our aim is to help you find a lifestyle that suits your capabilities, needs and what matters to you. Together, we will look for small, manageable changes that can contribute to better health, greater life satisfaction and a reduction in health risks.
Who is the programme for
The programme is suitable for patients being treated for psychotic disorders (schizophrenia, schizoaffective disorders) or mood disorders (depression, bipolar disorder and related disorders), who also have an increased risk of metabolic conditions (e.g. being overweight or obese, insulin resistance or diabetes, high blood pressure).
How the programme works
The programme takes the form of a residential stay and lasts five weeks. If necessary, it is possible to continue treatment at an outpatient centre.
Every day, we work together on topics related to diet, exercise and health management. In group psychotherapy, participants can reflect further on what they have learnt, share their own experiences and, in a safe environment, plan how to gradually incorporate the chosen changes into their everyday lives.
The programme includes:
- regular physical activities tailored to each participant’s abilities;
- practical training in preparing simple, tasty and affordable meals;
- group psychotherapy and psychoeducation;
- creative therapy.
Everyone can try out different options and find the ones that suit them best. It’s not about quick or perfect results, but about changes that are enjoyable, realistic and sustainable in the long term.
What you’ll take away from the programme
By the end of the programme, you will have your own realistic plan for physical activity tailored to your health, capabilities and needs. You will also have the chance to try your hand at preparing simple, healthy meals that you enjoy and can afford.
Following your stay, there will be follow-up appointments. The aim of these is to support you in incorporating your new habits into your daily life and to work together to find solutions to any obstacles that may arise.
Admission to the programme
Anyone interested in the programme will undergo an assessment, during which a physician will evaluate their suitability for the programme. Please bring your up-to-date medical records with you (e.g. medical reports from a psychiatrist, GP or a discharge summary from hospitalisation).
