ABOUT  WORKSHOPS
 

NB.:   All abstract authors will have opportunity to participate in the relevant workshop.
However,  only three abstracts  for each of 5 workshops will be selected by the organisers for official presentation in the specific workshop.

The workshops are the core of the Seminar . This is where reflection on an exchange of ideas should be translated into proposals of integrated and innovational practices, planned synergetic strategies and create a really lobbying in proposals and advocacy in denouncing inadequateless between analysis - programs - resources for efficiently answers to the 'global needs' in exclusion chronically situation.

  • Empowerment as prevention of exclusion: getting hold of one’s dignity, one’s right through
    recovering the access to quality services, at the social as well as health level.

    - A person exists when they have a place and their voice is heard.

    - The place, their place, which place within which society ?
    - Place sometimes occupied by silence and violence.
    - Which vision, which definition of person, in relation with the humanistic approach is the basis in the process of deinstitutionalisation, in working in institutions and services and in activities for empowerment and outreach, with chronically ill people and with migrants.
    - How are empowerment strategies utilised in institutions and services?
    - The professional and empowerment

    - Network, job and home

     

  • Deinstitutionalisation : alternatives to comprehensive Institutionalisation, at the social as well as
    psychiatric level.

    - Acceptance of de-institutionalized people in the community (NIMBY)

    - Community treatment in praxis

    - The risk of homelessness in the process of deisntitutionalisation.

    - Live in community with a mental helath problems.

    - Established good co-work between NGO's, public social services and the health care system

    - Others ways to treat mental health problems

    - Drug-addicts and alchoholics in the community: the needs of harm-reduction programs

  • Outreach as philosphy & aptitude in approch of excluded people who is abandoned and never is 'demanding' of service

    - Outreach & Chronicity at the street, in the institutions (shelters, prisons...), at home, everywhere where chronicity of poverty as well as the sickness discourages from any request, exactly when the need is the most complex and urgent.

    - Mobiles units : divers daily - streets practices

    - Samu social : a practice for co-working or for protagonism ?

  • Participation  by the users through direct involvement in the decisions about the programmes,
    and in the evaluation of the quality and efficiency of  the services, either directly by the ex/users and
    their families, or indirectly through  their associations.

    - Users organization. Presentation of exemplas.

    - Support to users and there organisations. Practical and economical

    - User rigths – what is in the law

    - The word & the silence - the writing & the image : discover the word's power  

    - User and user organizations involving in the NAP's

    - Dialogue between users and professionals
     

  • Undocumented migrant : Migrants, as a consequence of their migration process, are often physically, mentally, emotionally and psychologically strained. The separation from their family members, negative experiences in their country or region of origin as well as the traumas of wandering and of active rejection ..., affecting their physical and mental well-being. Full access to adequate health care is critically important for migrants, denieded of  identity and of respect for personal dignity.
    In this 3 workshops N°5 we would deepest exchange about 1) the place - 2) the health - 3) the participation
    Any suggestions : :

    ·         MIGRANTS between welcome and rejection : denied identity - dignity - health, the first step is welcome ,
               only after comes  integration: situation, initiatives and proposals

    ·         ANTINOMIES between :  law - ethics – humanism

    ·         WORKERS & USERS :  Dignity and health for users and for workers in "reclusion & parking" camps

    ·         RIGHT & ACCESS to rights : to health & social services;  protection in jobs for immigrants : situation,
               initiatives  and proposals

    ·         TRAUMATIC STRESS  for  loss  -  mourning : so many factors that link them to the people who are “the
               deprived ones….”.

    ·         They have left everything in order to find nothing

    ·         A crossing  to hope that ends up in wrecking in despair !

  Other subjects for exchange and discussion, but concerning the same theme of this workshop's  session are very welcome
