The Wahat Al Rushd Home, affiliated with the Sharjah Social Services Department, has achieved remarkable achievements in caring for and treating mentally and psychologically ill patients of both genders who receive support at the home. Since its establishment in 2007, the home has been one of the first specialized entities in the country, devoting its efforts to providing comprehensive care for this group, which requires special attention from specialists in the fields of rehabilitation and training. The home has succeeded in bringing about positive changes in the lives of many of its members, who faced societal and even familial difficulties, contributing to their gradual integration into society and enhancing their quality of life. The Importance of the Family's Role: Khaled Al-Abdouli, Director of Wahat Al-Rushd, reviewed the most prominent challenges facing both the mentally ill patient and the treating specialist. He emphasized the vital role of the family in supporting and embracing mentally ill patients, which has a significant impact on accelerating their recovery and enhancing the effectiveness of the treatment efforts undertaken by Wahat. Al-Abdouli pointed out that the most prominent problems facing mentally ill patients include the social stigma associated with the illness and the lack of societal understanding of their abilities and potential, which leads to their marginalization and, at times, exploitation. He also pointed to other challenges, such as the loss of job opportunities, neglect of treatment, and a lack of community awareness of the nature of these diseases, which exacerbates their suffering and delays their integration into society. Regarding the best approach to dealing with a mentally ill patient, the director of the home explained that the beginning is to grant them trust and love, and to accept their psychological state with understanding and containment, while following the principle of balance in dealing with them: "Don't be too hard or you'll break, nor too soft or you'll be chewed." He added that certain situations require firmness, particularly regarding adherence to psychiatric medications, which should only be discontinued if the patient's condition improves significantly and with a medical recommendation. He stressed the importance of continuing therapy sessions, avoiding overprotection, and working to fill the patient's free time with useful activities, encouraging him to continue his studies or engage in work according to his ability. He also stressed the need to avoid imposing orders and to replace them with logical, constructive dialogue. He also cautioned against always responding to all of the child's desires in order to maintain his psychological and behavioral balance. Successful models: Al-Abdouli says, in fact, there are many inspiring success stories achieved by mentally ill patients who benefit from the services of the department's various departments. I will discuss two models: one at the Child and Family Protection Center, and the other at Dar Wahat Al Rushd. The first story concerns a student suffering from depression and obsessive-compulsive disorder. His case was referred through the Child Helpline at the Department of Social Services after a suicide attempt was reported. Upon follow-up, it was found that he had a history of multiple suicide attempts. After undergoing a psychological evaluation, it was found that he suffers from two psychological disorders, and his score on the depression and obsessive-compulsive scales reached 72 before starting treatment. We began providing comprehensive psychological support for the case, focusing on modifying his negative thoughts and beliefs about himself and improving his broken relationship with his father. This coincided with family counseling sessions to enhance their ability to deal with him in a way that supports his psychological stability. The son and his father were also convinced of the importance of seeing a psychiatrist and adhering to the drug treatment plan. As a result of the quality and comprehensiveness of the treatment provided, tangible positive results were achieved, with the son freed from symptoms of depression and showing a marked improvement in his outlook on life. This was reflected in the result of the depression test, in which he scored (58), indicating a significant decrease in symptoms. His obsessive-compulsive symptoms also declined, as he scored (62) on the obsessive-compulsive scale, which is also an indication of a clear improvement in his psychological state. On the other hand, the student returned to school after a period of repeated absences, not only to continue his education, but also to excel in high school and receive a scholarship to continue his university studies, where he is currently continuing his education. His health condition also witnessed a significant improvement, which led to the cessation of psychological treatment due to the stability of his condition. Most notably, his relationship with his father, which had previously been considered impossible due to his obsessive-compulsive thoughts toward him, gradually faded during treatment, has improved. This progress was achieved in record time, despite the complexity of his condition and the multiple challenges that indicated a need for longer treatment. A student suffering from schizophrenia. The second case involved a high school student who had been diagnosed with schizophrenia. She underwent evaluation, diagnosis, and treatment at Wahat Al Rushd Hospital until her condition stabilized and her psychotic symptoms improved. She continued to receive psychological treatment and was reintegrated into her family. The center's specialized team also decided to support her return to school, in order to maintain the motive of hope in her life. Al-Abdouli explained that this decision had a significant positive impact, as the girl was able to overcome her psychological crisis and excel academically, successfully completing high school, enrolling in university, and continuing her postgraduate studies. During this journey, her family was provided with continuous guidance to enable them to understand the nature of the disease and deal with it consciously, especially during times of crisis. It is worth noting that the "Wahat Al Rushd" home receives numerous cases through various channels, whether through reporting them or through families going directly to the home to request support and care, for individuals between the ages of 18 and 59. The home works to reintegrate these individuals into society after rehabilitating them and providing specialized training programs. People with schizophrenia constitute the largest percentage of cases. This mental disorder affects thinking, emotions, and behavior, leading to isolation from family, friends, and academic or professional environments.
