Mental Health Europe invites you to its webinar “From Engagement to Empowerment: How we created user-led and culturally sensitive mental health services”, organised in the framework of the Mentality project.
Empowerment in mental health services is essential for creating inclusive and effective care. By actively involving service users in decisions and co-creating resources, we foster autonomy, reduce stigma, and build more accessible, person-centered mental health systems that serve diverse communities. Estuar Foundation (Romania) and Polish Migration Forum (Poland) put this approach into practice by implementing the Mentality work.
This webinar, targeted at mental health practitioners, mental health services, trainers and educators for social change, social workers, and NGO professionals, will aim to:
- Present the Free Map of Mental Health Services (Estuar) and the Measures for Migrants and Refugees (Polish Migration Forum);
- Reflect on the importance of the empowerment of mental health service users when developing new mental health practices;
- Reflect on the importance of cultural adaptation in mental health services and practices for migrants and other target populations;
- Find common solutions to challenges and barriers that may impede the empowerment and mental well-being of service users;
- Share tools and practices to empower people in their mental health journey and promote their emotional awareness, resilience, and personal development.
The Mentality project aims at piloting established European promising practices targeted at children, healthcare and other care workers, people with pre-existing mental health problems and psychosocial disabilities, migrants, and service providers.
