The offer is open to any citizen with a desire to learn around their mental recovery, their loved ones (neighbor, family, caregiver) are welcome as well.
The offer is unique, and stands for co-creation at all its levels!

Based on our course "yourself and recovery," we show in
the workshop, how we work in a course around the themes of: Connectedness, Hope, Identity, Meaning, Making choices and dealing with life's difficulties.
The workshop will be given by a professional and a PEER worker, it will be a moment of learning together and sharing experiences.
