New mental health association: help right on your doorstep!

The Community Psychiatric Association (GPV) in the Lippe district was founded under the leadership of the Social Psychiatric Service. The aim of this new network is to connect over 20 providers of help and support for people suffering from mental illness and addiction. The GPV acts as a central contact point for service providers and actors from various areas such as self-care, housing, participation, health and social psychiatric care.

The GPV's focus is on strengthening psychiatric care for seriously and complexly ill people of all ages and genders. District Administrator Dr. Axel Lehmann emphasizes the need for coordinated needs planning and supply close to home. The GPV is intended to help coordinate and coordinate the measures, while focusing on the needs of those affected. The desired goals include shorter waiting times, better utilization of existing capacities and the bundling of resources.

Important aspects and organization

Chief administrative officer Sabine Beine expects the GPV to improve the quality of care and rehabilitation as well as avoid inpatient treatment. In addition, the members of the GPV are also committed to preventative services and public relations work to combat stigmatization. The central organizational unit is the general meeting, which is coordinated in the health department in the area of ​​mental health. The management of the GPV is currently being advertised. If you have any questions, you can contact Dr. Contact Anita Helbing-Übelacker, specialist in psychiatry and psychotherapy, who can be reached by phone or email.

The GPV is not only active in the Lippe district. Such an association was also founded in the Kleve district to improve support for people with mental health problems. Members of the GPV Kreis Kleve meet regularly to strengthen cooperation and identify missing offers of help. The GPV Kleve District is made up of 33 member organizations that provide a wide range of support services for people with psychosocial illnesses. The basic idea of ​​community psychiatric care is to offer help close to those affected, including advice and support in everyday life.

Both GPVs demonstrate the desire to optimize psychiatric care and promote closer collaboration between the various service providers. The goals include both preventive approaches and improving the quality of rehabilitation. For those experiencing acute mental health crises, it is strongly recommended that you contact emergency services or the police immediately to receive quick help.
