Rehabilitation

DIGNITY is specialized in rehabilitation of traumatised persons having being exposed to torture, ill treatment and severely traumatizing experiences such as war, organized violence etc. DIGNITY is recognized by the Danish National Board of Health as a national centre specializing in treatment of severely traumatized refugees.

All clients are treated according to the DIGNITY nterdisciplinary approach, which means that all clients are treated by a team consisting of four persons: A physician, a psychologist, a physiotherapist and a social worker. It is our experience that the patients' multiple problems highly interact with each other; thus, they are not reducible to a single central diagnosis or domain of Suffering. Consequently the psychological, somatic and socio-economic issues are equally important, and an interdisciplinary and bio-psycho-social rehabilitation approach has been adopted as a guiding principle at DIGNITY.
