REACTIVATION PROGRAMS IN PHYSICAL
AND MENTAL HEALTH
The AAPP reactivation programs encourage clients to be proactive in improving their physical endurance, their cognitive abilities, and their own self-confidence. They learn to structure their daily routine and receive psychological education to change negative thoughts that affect their daily life. These interventions are based on the PGAP approach (Progressive Goal Attainment Program), the cognitive-behavioural and rehabilitation counseling approach.
FOCUSING ON THE NEEDS OF THE CLIENT, REACTIVATION PROGRAMS ARE DISTINGUISHED BY THEIR PROACTIVE, FLEXIBLE, AND PERSONALIZED APPROACHES
