Detention monitoring Cantonal Psychiatric Clinic of Mendrisio (Ticino)11 During its visit in August 2017, the Commission welcomed the accommodation and psychotherapeutic care offered at the facility. The Commission rated the measures that had been introduced since 2014 as alternatives to restrictions on freedom of movement such as seclusion and mechanical restraint as positive. The Commission also acknowledged the counselling services offered to patients in the clinic by the Pro Mente Sana Foundation. However, the mixed accommodation of minors with adults was deemed to be inappropriate. The Commission accordingly recommended that proper accommodation and care for minors be provided. Furthermore, the drafting of treatment plans as well as the documentation of treatments without consent which have to be formally ordered should be improved.
