Psychosocial support services

Psychosocial support services play a special role in the treatment of some mental and psychosomatic disorders because they help those affected to better cope with the challenges of everyday life and to strengthen social and family relationships. These services aim not only to promote individual mental health but also to involve the patient's social environment and living conditions in the healing process. Such support services include, for example, social counseling, assistance with professional and financial issues, and support in organizing everyday life.

Especially with severe and chronic mental strain or psychosomatic disorders, it is often difficult to regain structure and support in everyday life on one's own. Psychosocial support services are aimed at developing solutions together with those affected and building long-term perspectives and a stable level of functioning in everyday life.

These measures are often offered as part of inpatient or day patient treatment and in rehabilitation. They are a valuable addition to therapeutic procedures because they promote a holistic approach to the treatment of mental disorders.
