Consortium
The project consists of the following partners:
Fundatia Estuar
Estuar Foundation was established in 1993 by the Penumbra Foundation in Scotland and the Romanian League for Mental Health with the mission to provide social and alternative options to adults with mental health problems for their inclusion in the Romanian community. In 30 years we have been able to respond to the changing needs of our beneficiaries, adults with mental health problems, by identifying the necessary resources to enable us to do so. Since 2013 we have been recognised by the Romanian state as having public utility status. We work in public-private partnership with local public institutions of social assistance, education, employment but also at European level. We work "on the grass roots" and we are open to everything that means social innovation, multidisciplinary partnerships and involvement of beneficiaries. We are the first organisation in Romania to offer sheltered housing to adults with mental health problems, a community-based alternative to admission to psychiatric hospitals. We are the only ones providing this service on a permanent basis in the three sheltered housing facilities in Bucharest since 1994. See more on www.estuar.org.
