Fundación Madre

Community mental-health care

Fundación Madre is a nonprofit dedicated to protecting and supporting people with serious mental health conditions across Castile-La Mancha. It began in 1996 at the initiative of AFAUS Pro Salud Mental in Guadalajara, with many family associations from across the region and professionals working with this community joining the effort.

The foundation provides individualized, comprehensive support to people with serious mental health conditions, their families, and professionals through a multidisciplinary team and several locations.
