The event begins at 5 p.m. with a welcome from the hosts. Prof Dr Marc Ziegenbein, Medical Director and Chief Physician at the Wahrendorf Clinic near Hanover, will then take the floor. With extensive clinical expertise covering the entire spectrum of mental health care, Prof. Ziegenbein will present groundbreaking findings in his lecture entitled "Schizophrenia and migration - the importance of modern care concepts - integration and digitalisation". In addition to the care of the chronically mentally ill, his clinical and scientific specialisms include the treatment of people with a migration background.
The treatment of schizophrenia patients with a migration background harbours challenges such as language barriers and cultural differences in the perception of mental illness. A culturally sensitive approach that takes into account the individual needs of patients has a positive effect on the course of the illness and social integration.
People with a migration background often have limited access to social support systems, especially after the loss of family structures due to migration.Modern, integrated and digital care concepts can help to overcome these challenges by enabling comprehensive interdisciplinary collaboration. Digital concepts offer culturally specific information, resources, self-help tools and telemedicine services for patients in remote areas or with difficulties accessing therapists in their native language and cultural background.
