Our mission, vision and values

Mission

Support-Girona is an organization providing global and individualized support to persons with disabilities, with whom it has a legal link, promoting their social inclusion and Human Rights.

Our mission is to support persons with intellectual disabilities, psychosocial disabilities or elderly persons experiencing some type of disability due to the ageing process to achieve social inclusion and exercise their rights. Support-Girona is aligned with the principles from the United Nations Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities and the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development. The organisation works towards offering a personalised and
coordinated service, networking with professionals and organisations, to support persons with
disabilities exercise their right to make their own decisions. Support-Girona develops
supported decision-making mechanisms from a voluntary designation of an individual or
appointed directly by a court order.
