In Mauritius, there is a significant gap in structured support for individuals who acquire disabilities later in life.
FMMH addresses this through a holistic program that promotes autonomy and independence:
Psychological Support: Individual counselling, trauma recovery therapy, and emotional adjustment for newly disabled individuals.
Group Therapy: Peer support spaces for sharing experiences, especially for accident survivors and those with degenerative conditions.
Rehabilitation & Physiotherapy: Personalised therapy plans to improve mobility and regain physical strength.
Mobility & Orientation Training:
White cane mobility training for the blind.
Wheelchair navigation and strategic usage for paraplegics and quadriplegics.
Independent Living Skills:
Cooking, nutrition, and home management classes.
Financial literacy and budgeting workshops.
Personal grooming, hygiene, and self-care training.
Support for Developmental & Intellectual Disabilities: Life skills programs that focus on communication, routine planning, social behaviour, and safety.
Access Facilitation: Help with navigating public transport, healthcare systems, social aid, and other vital services for living independently.
