The Minister of Family and Equality of Opportunities, Violante Tomás, today attended the performance of the play 'Miguel, the poet of dreams', at the Centro Párraga, in charge of the theater group Candilejas, of the residence of people with disabilities of Canteras, in Cartagena.
This representation has been programmed within the 'III state meeting for professionals in performing arts and social inclusion', organized by the Cepaim Foundation, and in which the Autonomous Community and the Ministry of Health, Social Services and Equality collaborate.
Violante Tomás stressed that the Canteras center, which celebrates its 40th anniversary this year, has numerous activities to fully develop the capabilities of its residents.
It has 100 places, 80 residential care and 20 day center, which are subsidized through the Murcia Institute of Social Action (IMAS), with more than 5.6 million euros.
This center lends its users multisensory stimulation, cognitive stimulation or the use of animal therapies.
"They are offering levels of normalization as close as possible to the environment that surrounds them, this is a degree of integration that allows the development of skills with theater classes, leisure offer and a program of skills for daily life, for boost the capabilities of the person and a residential care that makes the center live like a house, so we can say that its 80 residents are a great family, "said the counselor.
The residence provides people with disabilities with comprehensive care that can not be developed in the family environment, either because of lack of it or because of serious difficulties.
The programs that are carried out are established by the center's technical team.
The areas in which we work are the skills of daily life, computer programs, multisensory stimulation, audiovisual projections, alternative communication, leisure and free time, environmental knowledge, road safety, physiotherapy, sports and theater.
The Ministry of Family and Equal Opportunities also launched in March in this center Alternative Therapies with Animals, which have been extended to seven centers dependent on the IMAS for people with disabilities and a center for older people.
An average of 320 people per month (40 from each of the centers of persons with disabilities of the IMAS), already benefit from this initiative, to which are added another 40 elderly people from the Virgen del Valle center.
