The first meeting of the #MentalHelp project in Idro

Vestone. Thanks to the commitment of a network of subjects operating in the area, #MentalHelp retraces stories of recovery with the aim of breaking down preconceptions and misinformation on the topic of mental health in Vallesabbia.
The #MentalHelp project is based on the collaboration of a network of subjects (public bodies, third sector organizations and local associations) who have been collaborating for some time in the Valsabbia area and who have coordinated through the Mental Health Table promoted and managed by Sector 12 of Valle Sabbia.
The theme of prevention and combating the stigma suffered by people who have a problem related to mental health is central to the #MentalHelp project. For this reason, information, dissemination and awareness-raising courses are launched in various areas of the territory, starting from some high schools, where experiential workshops are offered, up to the organization of meetings open to citizens which have at their center the testimonies of people who have recovery paths behind them (acquisition of awareness and responsibility in managing mental health problems).
Theater also plays a key role and two specially designed theater performances are planned and staged by the social cooperative Comunità Fraternità and the Il Chiaro Nel Bosco – Salò association.
The first meeting is scheduled for Friday 24 May at 8.30 pm in the main hall of the Idro Middle School. With the support of operators and family members, and with the commentary of a psychiatrist, some people assisted by the services will talk about their recovery experience.
