EUROPSY

Crossroads of asociations and professionals

Euro-Psy-Rehabilitation believes that methods of readaptation and reintegration must lead the individual away from the status of patient -- dependent on the health care structure and an object of law -- to the status of consumer, negotiator, active agent, and worker, a citizen who exercises his rights. To this purpose, rehabilitation must be carried out in order to permit the person to acquire maximum independence on a personal, family, and social level, so as to develop fully in society :

  • through a better guality of life
  • through adapted social assistance
  • through training which meets personal needs
  • through accessible employment
  • through the creation of adapted jobs

Within organizations :

  • promote rehabilitation
  • stimulate the necessary changes

Develop the setting up of training based on new principles including a reconsideration of the role of services and professional workers. Set up the evaluation of programmes in order to fit the offer of services better to client needs.

At the same time EUROPSY is a source of information and discussion forum. EUROPSY promotes psychosocial rehabilitation programs aimed at restoring skills, enhancing resources and promoting personal autonomy and social integration of those who are also part of the European space, enabling them to decide in first person about his life.

Develop the setting up of training based on new principles including a reconsideration of the role of services and professional workers. Set up the evaluation of programmes in order to fit the offer of services better to client needs.
Means :

Together

User meetings

TOGETHER is an initiative directed towards reciprocal activities between users of the services provided by members of Euro-Psy-Rehabilitation.
It is based upon the principles of solidarity and cooperation between users in view of their fuller participation as citizens in society.

Together - Intermutuality

In each of the rehabilitation structures such a user action group could be set up. The Inter-Mutuality is, on a European scale, a federation composed of all the individual groups mentioned above. It forms a network run and directed by the users.

Together has objectives on different levels :

1) political goals

  • offering the users of our institutions the opportunity to meet eachother.
  • create positive conditions concerning meetings and activities of the users in different member states.
  • develop among the users a discussion about the means of training and rehabilitation in their countries.
  • gather information on the status of users in different member states.
  • promote conditions for well-being and for respect of the specificity of each handicapped person.
  • bring together a group of people who can give recommendations concerning European legislation to the authorities.

2) services

TOGETHER will offer a tool for meetings of users of different structures.

These exchanges include :

  • promotion of culture
  • leisure
  • sports
  • holidays
  • employment
  • visits and meetings
  • information (data bases)

Management of together

Management is provided by Euro-Psy-Rehabilitation but carried out by the users themselves. We suggest the establishment of user groups "TOGETHER" in the different organizations. Together - Intermutuality suggests bringing these groups together on a European scale. It also proposes to set up an exchange service and to found a Clearing House.
