Psychiatric services

An essential part of our mobile psychiatric care is the selection of individualised measures and the development of goal-oriented strategies. We always try to work in a solution- and resource-orientated manner - always according to the principle of ‘helping people to help themselves’, and in this respect we see our psychiatric Spitex as providing supportive care.
