In addition to breakfast and social counselling, the Franziskustreff now also offers psychiatric care to homeless, mentally ill people. Dr Eva Fučík provides urgently needed help with health problems. The direct, physical connection to the Franziskustreff as a reliable point of contact enables particularly low-threshold access to neurological care. For all guests of the Franziskustreff, even those without health insurance cover.
Many of those who come regularly for breakfast experience the centre as a safe place where they are surrounded by familiar people. If necessary, guests are referred directly from the social counselling service to Dr Fučík for a consultation. This enables rapid treatment without major hurdles, especially for mentally ill people living on the street.
- Presentation even without health insurance cover
- Rapid treatment and initiation of therapeutic measures without major hurdles
- Early detection
- Initiation of basic diagnostics for mental and neurological illnesses
- If necessary, referral to outpatient or day-care psychiatric/neurological therapies
- Inpatient admission if necessary
- If desired, cooperation and exchange as part of multidisciplinary treatment and initiation of further measures, e.g. finding a suitable form of accommodation, initiation of legal care, etc., depending on the patient's wishes and needs and in close cooperation with the social counselling service
- Psycho-educational, day-structuring discussions
- If necessary, needs-orientated dispensing of medication
Ideally, patients will become "fit to live" again, independent and autonomous. For the first time, they are also able to make decisions and fill out forms again. In this way, the practice goes hand in hand with the work of the social counselling service and makes this possible again.
The practice for homeless people thus complements the established health care services in Frankfurt, which are already provided by the homelessness counselling services. They are aimed at uninsured and insured people so that they can be treated quickly and without any hurdles.
Together with the Frankfurt facilities, the Franziskustreff Foundation would like to help improve health care for homeless people. And to continue working towards this goal in a networked partnership.
