Recently, Shanghai Changning Wangqian Disabled Persons Service Center came to Sunshine Heart Garden in Pengpu New Village to accompany 20 patients with mental disorders to make coffee bean bracelets. This integration activity is part of the Pengpu Xincun Street Community Rehabilitation Service Project for Mental Disorders, which aims to provide a positive social and interactive platform for patients with mental disorders to help them enhance their sense of self-identity and worth.
At the beginning of the event, the staff from the well-known coffee brand COSTA first introduced the history and cultural connotation of coffee beans, the spread of coffee around the world, and other common knowledge about coffee to the participants.
After hearing about the unique aroma of coffee beans to relieve stress and make you feel good, as well as the symbolism of coffee beans, everyone became interested in making coffee bean bracelets.
From selecting coffee beans, punching them, to stringing them, tying knots, every step is full of fun and challenges. Throughout the production process, the participants not only learned new skills, but also felt cared for and supported by their peers and staff.
In the final tasting session, everyone showed off the carefully made coffee bean bracelets and shared their production experiences and feelings with each other. "Looking at the coffee bean bracelet on my hand, I feel very proud." "I'm very happy, this bracelet is as delicate and smelly as I imagined."
The organizers of the event hope that through such integration activities, people with mental disorders can not only enhance their sense of self-identity and value, face life more positively, but also promote the public to understand the real needs and difficulties of people with mental disorders, and help them better integrate into society with a stronger sense of tolerance and friendliness and empathy.
