ABOUT US
Since 1995, Fundación Manantial, a non-profit organisation, has been dedicated to revolutionising health and social care for mental health. Born from the initiative of family associations, our foundation focuses on the comprehensive recovery of people with mental health conditions. We offer a range of services, including social care, employment opportunities, legal protection and reintegration from the penal system. Our prevention programmes, early intervention, and psychotherapeutic activities are designed to fully integrate people into society, reaffirming our commitment to holistic well-being. The main funding of our foundation comes from services provided and contracts with the Public Administration, accompanied by the support of private entities.
