Lithuania offers social rehabilitation services for people with disabilities

The Ministry of Social Security and Labour in Lithuania has highlighted the availability of community-based social rehabilitation services for people with disabilities. These services are designed to be complex and individualized, addressing the specific nature and severity of a person's disability to foster independence and community participation.

Available support includes training in daily living skills, self-expression, healthy lifestyle habits, and employment skills. Additionally, services may include accompaniment, transport organization, and individual or group emotional support. These services are provided free of charge and are intended to be used for as long as the individual requires them.

To access these resources, individuals with disabilities and their relatives are encouraged to contact their local municipalities. The services are delivered by accredited social service institutions that have the authority to provide specialized community rehabilitation.
