Fundació Orienta

What Fundació Orienta does

Fundació Orienta (formal name: Fundació Privada Centre d'Higiene Mental Orienta) is a non-profit foundation established in 1974, headquartered in Sant Climent del Llobregat with operational presence in Sant Boi de Llobregat, Catalonia, Spain. It specializes in child and adolescent mental health services for the 0–17 age group, operating seven CSMIJ (Centres de Salut Mental Infantil i Juvenil) and three day hospitals across the Baix Llobregat and L'Hospitalet de Llobregat catchment areas. The core clinical model is delivered through contracted public healthcare service agreements with the Catalan Health Service (CatSalut), supplemented by multidisciplinary clinical partnerships with Vall d'Hebron, Sant Joan de Déu, the Otto Kernberg Institute, and the Anna Freud Centre.

The foundation monetizes its institutional knowledge through a parallel training and publications program branded as Orienta Aula, offering courses and published materials, and accepts donations to support its mission. It maintains structured university partnerships with UB, UAB, URL, UdG, UOC, and UNED for clinical placements, continuing education, and research. International social cooperation projects have been deployed in Brazil (2006), India (2012), and Colombia (2016), and participation in the Erasmus+ Kids in Mind project (2026) extends its academic network abroad. Certifications include ISO, WMA Medical Web Accreditation, the ODS Seal, and the PCS 2025-2027 Social Commitment Profile.

The foundation employs between 51 and 100 people, with named academic and training leads Maria José Muñoz (Secretària Docència) and Marta Cabré (Responsable Docència). Revenue concentration is structurally high given dependence on a single public-sector buyer (CatSalut); no AI/ML capabilities are documented in available sources. The institution marked its 50th anniversary in 2024.
