Recovery of life projects. XXVIII AEN Congress. Transitions. Mental health, community and social change

Different movements of professionals, users and their relatives propose the use of concepts such as recovery or citizenship as tools to change the focus from pathology towards empowerment through the enhancement of strengths and community work. At this table we will try to build a dialogue between people who dedicate their efforts to transforming the mental health care system towards one based on rights and the collective construction of life projects.
