Gapes: Empowering People with Disabilities through Clinical and Social Integration
Gapes, short for Grupo de Atendimento a Pessoas Especiais, is a non-profit association that provides clinical and social integration services to people with disabilities and their families. Founded on the belief that every person deserves equal opportunities to live a fulfilling life, Gapes has been serving the community since its inception.
At Gapes, we understand that living with a disability can be challenging not only for the individual but also for their loved ones. That's why we offer comprehensive support services that cater to the unique needs of each person. Our team of experienced professionals includes psychologists, therapists, social workers, and volunteers who work together to provide personalized care.
Our clinical services include psychological assessment and therapy sessions aimed at improving mental health and emotional well-being. We also offer speech therapy sessions designed to enhance communication skills among individuals with speech impairments.
In addition to our clinical services, we also focus on social integration as an essential aspect of our mission. We believe that everyone should have access to opportunities for personal growth and development regardless of their abilities. Our social integration programs aim at promoting inclusion by providing opportunities for individuals with disabilities to participate in various activities such as sports events, cultural festivals, educational workshops among others.
At Gapes, we recognize the importance of family support in ensuring successful outcomes for individuals with disabilities. Therefore we offer family counseling sessions aimed at equipping families with knowledge on how best they can support their loved ones.
We are committed to providing high-quality care while maintaining affordability; hence our services are accessible even by low-income families who may not afford private healthcare providers' fees.
Our success stories speak volumes about our commitment towards empowering people living with disabilities through clinical and social integration programs. We have witnessed significant improvements in mental health outcomes among individuals who have undergone psychological therapy sessions at Gapes clinics.
