AFEMCE

What AFEMCE does

AFEMCE (Asociación de Salud Mental de Cieza y Comarca) is a Spanish non-profit association founded in 1998 and headquartered in Cieza, Murcia, providing community-based mental health services to people with mental health problems and their families across the Vega Alta del Segura comarca (Cieza, Abarán and Blanca). It is the reference mental health organization for Health Area IX of the Region of Murcia and holds a Declaración de Utilidad Pública granted by Ministerial Order on January 27, 2005.

The association operates a portfolio of core facilities — a day center, an occupational center, and supervised housing units — alongside a programmatic layer that includes psychosocial rehabilitation, child and youth psychosocial intervention (CLICK), personal autonomy and healthy leisure programs (MUÉVELO, SEPAP comarcal under Proyecto RAÍCES), family school and respite services, volunteer training (#Voluntaria_Mente), and a managed rural complex ("Atalaya"). Its technology footprint is non-existent in commercial terms: there is no proprietary platform, app, or API; service delivery rests on human multidisciplinary teams (occupational therapy, psychotherapy, social work) coordinated through regional social and health services.

AFEMCE's revenue model is fully grant- and subsidy-driven rather than commercial. It receives public funding from IMAS/Región de Murcia, EU NextGenerationEU (PRTR) funds, and LEADER/FEADER funds managed through ADRI Vega del Segura, alongside project-based support from Fundación La Caixa and Fundación ONCE. Services are provided at no direct cost to beneficiaries, consistent with its non-profit status and Utilidad Pública designation. The organization is affiliated with the Federación Salud Mental Región de Murcia (FEAFES) and the Confederación Salud Mental España, and is governed by families, users, volunteers, and professionals with no private equity, venture, or individual ownership.
