It was part of the latest approach in the treatment of psychiatric

patients in Serbia. It was a pilot project in Special Psychiatric Hospital

Gornja Toponica, Serbia for mental health care in association with Ministry

of Health, Stability Pact for South Eastern Europe and Caritas (Serbo-

Italian Association). As part of the project, I was selected to participate

in a training programme for working with mentally disabled people in

Bibbiena, Italy for two months (June-July, 2006).

My main responsibility was to work with psychiatric patients in the

community and their inclusion.

My duties were: doing home visits, working as an occupational

therapist, organizing group sessions with young people, being responsible

for parenteral therapy application.

Also: improving their social and living skills, organizing and

building social supportive network with relevant instituions.

Organizing art and sport groups (painting, knitting, hand made

products), organizing selling exibitions in community.

Our aim was to help patients live as independently as possible in the

community through different trainings and therapies.

In October 2006 I participated as a speaker in a conference in Nis

organized by Ministry of Health and NGO Caritas (Italian Association) on

the prevention, preservation and improvement of mental health of population

in Serbia.

As this was the first opening of the Mental Health Centre in Serbia,

the experience gained in Italy and later at the Centre for Mental Health,

has provided me with skills to be a trainer and speaker in other

institutions about ways and opportunities to work with patients in the

community. In addition, I was responsible for continuation of this method

of treatment of psychiatric patients in other towns in Serbia as well.

My big responsibility was also destigmatization of patients with

mental health problems. That meant working with the community, organizing

promotions, organizing World Mental Health Day (October, 10th) in our

community.
