FAISEM

What FAISEM does

FAISEM (Fundación para la Atención Integral, Salud Mental y Apoyo Social) is a non-profit public foundation established in 1994 and operating under the Junta de Andalucía, the regional government of Andalusia, Spain. The foundation delivers comprehensive mental health and social integration services to people with mental health experience across all eight provinces of Andalusia, with a workforce of approximately 330 employees. Its service portfolio spans eight program lines: residential care (Programa Residencial), day programs (Programa de Día), supported employment (Programa de Empleo, which includes the SOAE guidance service and a temporary employment exchange), anti-stigma campaigns (Lucha contra el Estigma), support for the associative movement, programs for people at risk of exclusion, physical activity and sports, and training activities. Secondary service lines include the University Chair (Cátedra Universitaria Ciudadanía y Salud Mental FAISEM-UAL) with Universidad de Almería and training collaborations with Universidad de Jaén.

The foundation's technology layer consists of internal digital platforms for employment intermediation and staff management — principally SELECTA, a web-based employment offers portal, the Bolsa de Empleo Temporal temporary employment exchange, and the SIF/SIE management systems — which serve as enabling infrastructure for the human-delivered programs rather than as standalone products. The technology is described in terms of ease of use and domain specialization rather than technical differentiation.

FAISEM operates as a publicly funded social welfare entity rather than a commercial enterprise. Revenue is provided by the Junta de Andalucía under public social services mandates; no transactional pricing is disclosed. Distribution is via a network of provincial delegates, residential homes, day centers, and employment service points across all eight Andalusian provinces, with secondary outreach through university partnerships, primary health centers (Centros de Salud), and affiliations such as AESEI. The customer base is diffuse at the beneficiary level (people with mental health experience) but concentrated at the payer level (single regional government funder).

Comparable in employment and social-inclusion mandate and in being a public-affiliated nonprofit, but operates at national scale and across all disability types rather than mental-health specific.
• Mind (UK): Leading UK mental health charity providing advice, support, and campaigning. Comparable in mission to support people with mental health conditions and in combining service delivery with public-awareness and policy advocacy.
• Mental Health Foundation (UK): UK charity focused on mental health research, anti-stigma campaigns, and community programs. Comparable in combining anti-stigma, research, and community engagement, and serves as a model for national scaling of FAISEM's mission.
