The Foundation aims to further promote mental healthcare for individuals with mental and behavioral issues—whether or not combined with an intellectual disability—in line with the legacy of Professor A. Došen, with a specific focus on the developmental-dynamic model and emotional development. The connection between theory and practice plays a key role in this endeavor.
In collaboration with the European Association for Mental Health in Intellectual Disability (EAMHID), the Foundation seeks to achieve its mission by:
- Organising various activities centered on mental healthcare and emotional development for individuals with intellectual disabilities and emotional vulnerability;
- Providing incentives in daily practice to sustain, disseminate, and further develop Anton Došen’s principles;
- Bringing together knowledge and experience from both scientific research and practical applications, both nationally and internationally.
