Family Care – Adoption and a Community Approach
Six hundred years ago through the intercession and inspiration of St. Dymphna, a little community in Geel, Belgium, created a new vision that valued inclusion of individuals with mental illness in community life. Once a spiritual inspiration for the cure of mental illness, St. Dymphna now inspires Geel and the world through myth.
