Everyone has
a right to the best available mental health services within the health &
social welfare systems.
UN Resolution 46/119,1.1,
SMES-EUROPA is an European Network constituted as an International
non-profit Association, (aisbl Belgian law 1919), operates at the
interface, intersection of mental health & social exclusion,
especially for homeless and mentally ill people, suffering of both exclusion
conditions: mental illness and extremely poverty .
The European SMES project began in 1992 in Rome as a result of the
first European seminar on the appalling neglect and abandonment homeless
people living in extremely poor health & social conditions
The AISBL was founded in 2001 in Belgium and its special area concerning
health / mental health, with a specific attention to homeless and mentally
ill people, abandoned in the streets or in the shelters.
The exclusion is a structural phenomenon of society and
constitutes a political challenge for all the Europe.
Loneliness, sickness, mental illness, drug abuse and/or alcoholism, may be
the cause or the results of this state of alienation and exclusion from
society, which in some cases may be irreversible and which could eventually
lead to a complete break with society.
The AIM specific and distinguishing SMES-EUROPA objet is the
reflection and action at the intersection of social exclusion (inclusion)
within mental health (illness), the interaction between exclusion & mental
health.

The extent of poverty and
social exclusion in Europe
is unacceptable ! ! !
European Council Lisbon 2000
The problem of the "excluded & mentally
suffering people", abandoned on
the streets, living
in reception centres and in precarious housing
conditions, is only the visible tip of a societal
phenomenon which is more
serious and widespread
than it appeared to be at first.
TARGET :
Women - Men 'home'-less
-
mentally
ill without assistance
-
young
people at risk of losing viable society's
contact
-
children exploited and abused
-
addicted people to substances
-
(ex) prisoners
-
elderly people abandoned
-
immigrants in illegal situation.
The problem, despite national differences,
is European and, for this
reason must be placed at
the centre of an urgent call for awareness and
deeper consideration particularly with respect to
the development of a new
political European program..
The building of Europe must take place within
a framework of an Europe
of Citizenship & Solidarity.
