1.  Health /mental health:  Right - Access - Services
       No Dignity without Health - No Health without Mental Health   

Objective : To increase the knowledge of the participants about “EU law and application - common objectives – appropriate practices”, with reference to the NAPs Inc. and to JIM. To analyse the efficient practices and the legislation (concretely and daily applied !..) about health & social system in order to propose innovative and adequate instruments for the promotion of equal access to : RIGHTS - HEALTH - SOCIAL SERVICES and  ADEQUATE RESOURCES, for excluded people.
Questions:  
1.  What kind of barriers make hard the acces to health services for excluded people, especially homeless ?
     And in simmetric way barriers who make difficult for mental illnes people the access to social services, especially
     housing services ?

2.  When the barriers and /or the insufficiences are "structural - insitutional - individual : in what way it's possible to reduce
     or surround or broken in order to facilitate "reciprocal access at part of responsability in co-working Does the NAPS &
     JIM increase the accessibility and quality of Health & Mental Health Services for disadvantaged people by preventing,
     assisting and accompanying this vulnerable, marginalised, and excluded people or not ?
3.  Does these ensure a sustainable inclusion and active participation in citizenship ?

2.  Resources:  decent income &
       adequate resources for good health

Background (few lines from Join Report 2003 about NAP/Incl)

The income & health- A substantial number of people living above a relative income poverty line may not be able to satisfy at least one of the needs identified as basic, due to the detrimental influence of such factors as health condition, security of work income, need of extra care for elderly or disabled members of the household, etc.
There is much evidence that children growing up in poverty tend to do less well educationally, have poorer health..

The Poor Health:  There is a widespread understanding that poor health is both a cause and a consequence of wider socio-economic difficulties. The overall health status of the population tends to be weaker in lower income groups. The percentage of people claiming their health to be (very) bad was significantly higher for those below the risk of poverty line than for those above it in the Union ... the strong correlation between poor health and poverty and exclusion. Particularly vulnerable groups such as the Roma and Travellers have poor life expectancy and higher rates of infant mortality. This correlation depends on various factors but in particular on the extent to which adverse social and environmental factors, which are experienced disproportionately by people on low incomes, can make it difficult for individuals to make healthier choices.

Reflections & Questions:

Background (few lines from Join Report 2003 about NAP/Incl)

Reflections & Questions:  

1.  “Job” as a fundamental right of all person !  In what way the legislations and local administrative disposition
      guaranteed the divers “alternative” to ""employment" and to labour "market", in order to insure the real “dignity” of
       person who is in disadvantaged and vulnerable conditions ?  For ex. : illegal immigrants ?
2.  The "job" before all, before charity, before housing, before treatment !
     Any people in order to affirm "self dignity" and find again "health and well being"
     to claim before all the job ! Job not necessarily at place of house & treatment, when
      necessary, but every time with  !...
     What kind of initiative propose "local authorities" - "administrators" - "trade

     participation in job management? Difficulties, solutions & proposals…

5. Education & street:  the children and young people
      of the street  without right,  dignity  and  health 

Background : In most countries children experience levels of income poverty that are higher than those for adults. Material deprivation among children must be a matter of serious concern, as it is generally recognised to affect their development and future opportunities. In 2001, rates of poverty risk for children were of 24% or more in Spain, Ireland, Italy, Portugal and the United Kingdom. Differences in the persistence of child poverty relative to adults are also significant (12% as against 9% for the EU as a whole), which suggests that specific factors shape the risks of poverty faced by children relative to those faced by the entire population.
*  We must prevent early school leaving and promote smooth transition from school to work.
*  We must develop a focus on eliminating child poverty and social exclusion among children;

Reflections & Questions:  

1.  “Education” as a fundamental right of all person !  In what way the legislations and local administrative disposition
      guaranteed...., in order to protect and insure the real “dignity - well being - happy living” for children who live in
      disadvantaged and vulnerable conditions ?...
2.  From "institutionalisation" in large and anonymous college to family small communities.... 
3.  The "school of the street" in on side and in other side what are the new opportunities & alternatives proposed as
      education and protection against exploitation, violence, "body market"..., illegal job... 
4.  The proposed future for children suffering of “lack of identity models" .... as alternative to "addiction" and "band".
5.   In what way the NAPS & JIM increase the respect, protection and evolution for the children in society....
6.  What local application, daily practices, pilot projects ?…:  Difficulties, solutions & proposals…
