Recovery: two important documents now available in French

Mini-Psych School 2012 – Gaining the Power to Understand, Prevent and Help

For a long time, our way of addressing mental health problems has fed prejudice. This behaviour has made recovery more difficult for people with mental health problems. This course gives us new ways of looking at mental illness that fights stigmatization.

Janina is a young woman with a Master's degree in political science who was working as a United Nations volunteer in Burundi when she started suffering from a psychotic disorder. Since then, she received treatment and now lives a satisfying life. This is how she defines recovery.

Détentrice d'une maîtrise en sciences politiques, Janina Komaroff est atteinte d'un trouble psychotique en 2008, alors qu'elle est en mission au Burundi pour l'ONU. Elle reçoit des soins et retrouve peu à peu une vie satisfaisante. Voici sa définition du rétablissement.

Guests included partners and donors along with members of the SPVM, members of the Boards of Directors, some of our Verdun neighbours.
