Need for Suitable Facilities for Individuals with Autism
December 6, 2024
Individuals with autism are still hospitalized at Athalassa Psychiatric Hospital due to a lack of appropriate facilities. The new specialized structure called 'Bridge' is expected to operate by March 2025, but it won't be able to meet all needs. The director of Mental Health Services highlights that the state is failing to manage the situation. Procedures for the operation of the 'Bridge' are advancing, and admission criteria for individuals with autism are being established.
