From Engagement to Empowerment

[wydarzenie oraz poniższy opis wyłącznie w języku angielskim]

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 put this approach into practice by implementing the Mentality work in Romania and Poland.

In a world where mental health care is often out of reach for many, the Estuar Foundation is empowering mental health service users through the launch of an interactive platform mapping free mental health services. The interactive map was created through a co-creational process involving beneficiaries and volunteers who shared that this process made them feel strong, useful, valued and, above all, part of a big community working towards the same goal: offering support for a better mental health.

The Polish Migration Forum will explore the significance of cultural adaptation in workshops for migrant and refugee communities, emphasizing how understanding and integrating multicultural perspectives can empower individuals and enhance the effectiveness of mental health programmes. Migrant and refugee populations bring unique cultural, social, and religious backgrounds that shape their needs and challenges, and the process of empowerment can be achieved or strengthened by engaging individuals to act as experts. Thus, migrants and refugees are no longer takers; instead, they actively start to build the society and cultural context in the new society they are living in.

During this webinar, Estuar Foundation and Polish Migration Forum will share their experiences in implementing the map of mental health services (Estuar) and the psychoeducational measures for migrants and refugees (PMF) through an empowerment-focused analysis of needs, challenges and solutions.
