HISTORY

The Orienta Foundation was created on 14 November 1974. Together with other institutions, it participated the following year in the launch of the Coordination of Mental Health Centres of Catalonia.

Its commitment to and defence of free public healthcare for children, young people and their families led to its participation in the creation of the CatSalut Public Healthcare Network of the Catalan Government.

From that moment onwards, the Orienta Foundation has steadily grown and now has five mental healthcare centres for children and young people and two day hospitals for adolescents. It is currently the largest institution specialized in Mental Healthcare for Children and Young People in Catalonia.

Prevention, health promotion, healthcare, research and education are the Institution’s specialist fields and activities.

It has recently incorporated international programmes of great scientific relevance, which have led to improvements in clinical practice, research and education.

The Board of Trustees of the Orienta Foundation has supported the journal “Psicopatologia y Salud Mental del niño y del adolescente” (Psychopathology and Mental Health in Children and Young People), which is published in print and digital format, and in Spanish so as to reach a greater number of professionals.
