On February 8th, the signing of the collaboration agreement between the Nou Mil·lenni Foundation and the Friends of the Hospital del Mar Foundation took place to humanize the spaces of the Infant and Juvenile Day Hospital, thus helping to improve the care of minors treated from these facilities.

Preventing and treating children and adolescents who present or are at risk of developing mental or behavioral disorders is essential, as is doing so in an environment where children and young people feel welcomed, like at home, in order to provide closer and more humane therapeutic assistance. For this reason, the current spaces will be transformed into an emotional refuge for minors who are cared for from the Infant and Juvenile Day Hospital. It is a building with a useful area of 458.93 m2 and the project consists of reforming the central spaces with two multipurpose rooms, the entrance, and the classrooms where most of the group activities take place.

The agreement has been signed by the president of the Friends of the Hospital del Mar Foundation, Xavier Trias, and by the vice president of the Nou Mil·lenni Foundation, Joan Puig Corcoy. During the event, Xavier Trias emphasized that "investment in mental health is essential because the return and impact it has on society is very significant." For his part, Joan Puig Corcoy stressed that "this is an investment in the future."

This project would not have been possible without the involvement of the Nou Mil·lenni Foundation and other companies such as Simon Electric, which has provided all the necessary lighting-related materials, and the Nau Foundation, which has donated the furniture.

Infant and Juvenile Day Hospital

The Litoral Mar Infant and Juvenile Day Hospital focuses on treating serious psychopathological alterations, behavioral disorders, or conditions that, due to their clinical complexity, present significant maladaptations.

Specialized care is provided to around 2,500 minor patients, offering them a multidisciplinary care model with a team of psychiatrists, psychologists, nurses, and social workers specialized in mental health, who work with children, young people, and families.

 

Nou Mil·lenni Foundation

The Nou Mil·lenni Foundation is a private non-profit entity created with the desire and purpose of contributing to promoting a better and more committed society with its citizenship, where existing inequalities and exclusion are not obstacles to the integral development of people. It focuses on actions aimed at children, adolescents, and young people at risk of exclusion, regardless of their origin, and collaborates in the development of this group through initiatives that promote equity, inclusion, empowerment, and the integral well-being of individuals.
