AFTER 25 YEARS, Poverty & inequalities increasing more and more in European countries: monetary poverty, material deprivation and low work intensity (http://ec.europa.eu/eurostat/statistics-explained/index.php/Europe_2020_indicators_-_poverty_and_social_exclusion) (cf. EUROSTAT* Statistics Explained) HOMELESS number increasing in EU more than 4 million (ex. Study in UK revel that 3,569 people were found sleeping rough on any given night in England in 2015, an increase of 30% per cent on the previous year. (CRISIS estimation http://www.crisis.org.uk/pages/rough-sleeping.html) Average of mentally illness is between 3-4/10 homeless living in permanent way in the streets are mentally illn (cf. St Mungos report, Stop the Scandal) Today he dies still in the street alone, abandoned in a curtain home-less and hope-less. Homeless living in severe and permanent social, physical, psychical precariousness are a symptom of the malaise of our society and a permanent injury of democracy and social cohesion. INVITATION SMES-Europa invite you and your Institution, especially involved in the social and health field to participate in the XIV European SMES Seminar: Dignity & Well-being, which will take place in Lisbon on 16-17-18 March 2017. TOGETHER we hope to find more adequate and coherent answer to these people living in extreme poverty conditions and suffering of mental health problems. The number increasing and life conditions are worst, in reason not only of financial, but more of structural society crisis. Faced to this situation, possible will be two kind of positions : the simple resignation to fatalism, or to react in all possible way, with the unique aim to change for dignify life , but together! "When the solution of complex situations concerning homeless people, in permanent way on the streets, shelters, squat and in extreme precariousness and poverty conditions, seems impossible, HOW to intervene ?
