Housing support and maintenance for people with mental disorders in Europe.

This project addresses several key questions: How can we support people with mental health problems to find housing adapted to their situation? Are the current programmes adapted to their disability? How can we improve these programmes in order to better support these people in their autonomy?

Bringing together all the actors and professionals from these European countries in the field of mental health, the project aims to create a European network of experts in order to strengthen the support given to patients and to share recommendations on these issues that will be elaborated towards the European and national authorities.

In the framework of this project, six seminars took place in six countries from October 2012 to June 2014. The aim of these seminars was to present the national context of each country, the programmes developed as well as to organise visits to different accommodations adapted to patients suffering from mental disorders.

These seminars are an opportunity to propose possible solutions adapted to this public. They are also an opportunity for experts to describe research initiatives carried out in different countries in order to make a comparative analysis and to highlight good professional practices in each country. They are also an opportunity to question the decompartmentalization of health and medico-social care while being a force of proposal for the alternative modalities of long stays in psychiatry.
