The 2020 European Empowerment Seminar will be hosted by Mental Health Ireland. Mental Health Ireland have worked closely with Mental Health Europe, ENUSP (European Network of (ex)users and survivors of psychiatry), the Office of Mental Health Engagement & Recovery, and a range of community partners to co-produce the webinar, that will take place via Zoom.
The seminar has been co-produced by people from backgrounds in lived experience of mental health challenges, family members / carers, service providers and will focus on how Empowering Recovery through co-production provides better outcomes for everyone.
The seminar will explore the key concepts of CHIME – Connection, Hope, Identity, Meaning and Empowerment through a variety of interactive and creative means. These will include: Music, Poetry, Art, Live Interactive Panel discussions, Presentations, Workshops dedicated to Human Rights and Advocacy, Education and Recovery and the power of Peer Workers in mental health service development and delivery, and a Virtual Recovery Trail.
Workshops:
- What does recovery mean, and how can we explain it?
- Empowering Recovery through Self-care
- Empowerment Through Education
- Peer Workers as Catalysts for Service User Empowerment within their Individualised Recovery Journey
- Empowering Recover: A Human Rights Based Approach
