Psychosocial Support and Rehabilitation
To keep people alive while also preserving their connection to life.
The psychosocial support and rehabilitation services offered at Darülaceze Okmeydanı Campus aim to strengthen the well-being of individuals not only physically but also mentally and socially. Our fundamental approach is to honor our residents' past life experiences, make the present meaningful, and build a sense of belonging for the future.
This service model is carried out under four main headings: psychological support, rehabilitative workshop activities, group activities, and production-based participatory work.
Psychological and Social Support Services
- Individual psychological counseling sessions
- Psychiatric assessment and referral
- Studies on coping with aging, loss, and the grieving process
- Post-trauma readjustment therapies
- Social situation planning with social workers
- Group therapies and support meetings
These processes are carried out by the institution’s psychologists, psychiatrists, and social workers. The primary aim is to prevent residents’ isolation, maintain a sense of belonging, and support their participation in social life.
Rehabilitation and Production Workshops
At Darülaceze, producing is not just a function, but a matter of identity. In workshops shaped according to the physical abilities of our residents, individuals engage in:
- Wood painting
- Ceramics
- Handicraft textiles (knitting, embroidery, sewing)
- Jewelry and accessory design
- Painting and calligraphy
These products are displayed and offered for sale in social sales areas established within the campus and on our website. Our residents are incentivized with a defined allowance system within the institutional system from the sales revenue obtained from these productions.
