One of the conclusions acclaimed by all participants during the two days is the important role families have in the treatment of a person with mental health problems.
It is necessary, as the speaker told us Ms. Guadalupe Jerí, develop a specific family intervention program to improve their capacity to cope with crisis and relapse prevention.

Beatriz Martínez intervention showed us all the way until now we have from the administration to bring the same and support all citizens affected by a mental health disorder.
But we also had the need to create spaces in which mental illness work in a more humane, more rehabilitative.
Another relevant proposals have been agreed, is the need for full coordination of all actors involved, coordination among health professionals and social services in each municipality, due to the large psychosocial problems involving mental illness .
