Summary:

The general aim of the project is to promote and stabilize the patient organisation “Studio 27 - focused on the soul” and make possible the realization of its mission to employ people with mental health problems in intellectual positions. Employing the original edifying informational campaign “PEER helps” to act on change of the public attitudes towards the psychiatry patients, to change the power distribution in the mental health care from the hierarchical one to the equal one and strengthen the position of peer workers in the system.

The peers give a unique contribution to the mental health discussion based on their personal experience with the illness and their way to recovery. Strengthening of peer workers and their mission will lead to the rehabilitation of patients’ views, to the establishment of trust and belonging between patients with mental problems. Thus the project will contribute to the social change, whose necessity everyone proclaims, but no one knows how it should occur. Public awareness about mental health will be increased, with attention to the peer movement personalities.

The project of Studio 27 is in accordance with the Czech National action plan for mental health 2020-30. It is also part of the efforts for a community-based and democratic approach to mental health issues. It achieves a discreet but deep change through enlightenment and promotion of this area.
