Fontänhuset Helsingborg
Fontänhuset Helsingborg is a work rehabilitation activity that supports people living with mental illness on the road to recovery, since 1993 when the foundation was started.
The basic idea is to make use of and develop people’s healthy sides through work and community. With us, you are not a client, user or patient; you are a member. As a member, you participate voluntarily in the activities according to ability and conditions.
By breaking isolation, structuring their day, working with meaningful tasks and being part of a community, the member strengthens his self-esteem, his self-confidence and can experience increased well-being.
We offer an inviting and inclusive environment where people regardless of background and difficulties can participate. Our atmosphere has proven invaluable to members’ recovery. Above all, we help people to create a sustainable existence where psychological difficulties no longer define the quality of life.
Membership with us is voluntary and free of charge. The requirement for membership is that one has or has had some form of mental illness and does not have an active addiction.
DHS
DHS The Disability Movement in Helsingborg
DHS is a party-political and religiously unbound umbrella organization for local disability associations in Helsingborg, which was formed at the request of Helsingborg municipality in 1967.
DHS’ purpose is to coordinate and be a support for the various disability associations in the city and to pursue disability policy issues, mainly at municipal level.
DHS has a full-time ombudsman, Björn Tufvesson-Alm, as well as office staff, who carry out activities according to the board’s decisions.
DHS member associations have various activities both for your well-being and for you to progress with your social rehabilitation. Some associations also have courses in self-care. If you choose to organize yourself, you can work for a better everyday life for yourself and others in the same situation.
Organizing can also be a way to meet others and break social isolation. Through DHS, you can get information about your rights and be guided to the association that best meets your needs.
In addition to the core activities, DHS runs a number of other activities on behalf of the city of Helsingborg, see under the tab: Our activities
ALLA KAN GYMPA
Alla kan gympa is a training concept for people with disabilities, e.g. movement impairment, neuropsychiatric and/or intellectual disabilities.
Within the framework of Paragymnastics – Alla kan gympa, there is both training that enables the association to be able to start operations directly, support material that facilitates communication and marketing, but also tips on exercises in the Movement Bank and lesson suggestions.
In an Alla kan gympa group, you can, among other things, practice basic motor skills, coordination, strength, endurance and move to music. Here we play, build courses and test different types of equipment. The body can be trained in so many different ways
Everyone can exercise can be summed up in one word – joy!
We start from the joy of movement and see opportunities instead of limitations and adapt the activity based on the needs of each individual participant.
Some groups have a particular focus on their activities and practice, for example, mostly trampoline, team gymnastics or parkour, while others play, dance and practice balance and run obstacle courses.
Please watch the film Alla can go to camp, which gives a good picture of everything that Alla can gym is covered.
