On July 24, 2020 Empowerment Webinar will be held by Mental Health Ireland in close partnership with Mental Health Europe, ENUSP, HSE Mental Health Engagement & Recovery and Community Partners. In her keynote “Recover your Power”, Jolijn Santegoeds, Board member of ENUSP, will address the importance of knowing our rights, international human rights standards, what they mean for people diagnosed with mental health issues and how we can lobby governments to respect our rights.
ENUSP is going to organize a workshop as part of the event, called “Empowering Recovery: A Human Rights Based Approach”. The workshop will address different aspects related to a human rights based approach to mental health and how it contributes to recovery. Participants of the workshop will examine this approach and share their experience of good practices with the aim of abolishing coercive measures and building human rights compliant systems of real care, as well as establishing effective monitoring systems and advocacy in the mental health field.
