Schwyzerische Stiftung für Sozialpsychiatrie

The foundation aims to serve people with mental illnesses and addictions in the canton of Schwyz. Its area of activity can be extended to neighboring cantons. It operates on a non-profit basis and is generally independent in its activities. The foundation supports people who are in a state of distress due to mental illness or addiction. The foundation can be the provider of psychiatric services and ensure the care of the population according to the principles of social psychiatry. The foundation can cultivate cooperation with institutions of similar purpose. It can promote other institutions active in the field of social psychiatry or take on similar tasks, insofar as they sensibly complement the social psychiatric work. The foundation and its services can take care of suitable public relations work, in particular on education, prevention, and treatment of mental illnesses.
