At its best, rehabilitative work activities can serve as a pathway to employment or further studies. Various daily tasks enable exploration of different fields.
Come join us, and together we'll plan a path that suits your life
All participants in work activities undergo an assessment of their life situation, work capacity, and skills, and a plan of action and goals is drawn up. The plan outlines the individual’s rehabilitation path comprehensively. The progress of the plan is regularly monitored and adjusted according to needs.
The content of work activities is tailored to the participant’s work and functional capacity. The need for adjustments to the individual work plan is continuously assessed based on the participant’s functional capacity, goals, and preferences. Tasks are customized on an individual basis. The main objective is vocational rehabilitation and planning for possible further paths.
Work activities provide structure to everyday life
Work activities supports better daily life and self-management. Work activities establish a regular daily rhythm and support sobriety.
Rehabilitative work activities consist of various elements tailored to each participant’s needs. Each client has their own personal instructor with whom the program is developed. The content of the activities is largely based on actual work tasks. This is complemented by individual and group guidance, peer support, and various activities. All participants in rehabilitative work activities also have the opportunity for individual discussions with their instructor and to participate in the groups organized at Ankkuri.
The WANHAKIERTO – FINAFYND recycling store and the NOARK CAFÉ grill/lunch café serve as training places for participants in work activities and also enable the creation of further paths. Introductory visits are possible!
Participants engage in rehabilitative work activities in 3-month periods. Work hours are 1-3 days per week, with a minimum of 4 hours per day. Work activity hours are from 9 am to 1 pm.
