Located in Sant Boi de Llobregat (Barcelona), Spain, the Parc Sanitari Sant Joan de Déu is a network of care, teaching and integrated research institutions that work for mental health and support people with mental disorders. It is organized around three areas of specialization: the Sant Boi hospital, intermediate care and a mental health network.

The Sicame Endowment Fund, which is actively committed to health, is supporting the Parc's mental health network with a donation of 20,000 euros for its project to "transform long-term psychiatric care through the community network of supported housing".

Difficulties in accessing housing are a major factor in the social exclusion of people with mental disorders. In order to promote their recovery, to support them in carrying out an independent living project and to avoid their institutionalization, the mental health care network launched the project, offering 14 places in four housing units. By providing community support housing with the corresponding clinical and social accompaniment, the Parc Sanitari Sant Joan de Déu, with the support of the Endowment Fund, contributes to fighting inequalities and guaranteeing the quality of life and care of those affected.
