Project Summary

In many countries in the European Union, the structures and services that evaluate the needs and support those with mental health disabilities notice a particular difficulty with this population, especially with regards to finding them employment. The structures that support this specific population have to improve their skills and services in order to guarantee the quality of their guidance (especially considering the changing nature of mental health illnesses). This project will allow these structures, by exchanges of good practices between professionals, to meet the needs of people with mental health disabilities to get employment. This project concerns 2 specific target groups : social service providers supporting people with mental health disabilities to heir socio-professional inclusion, and people with mental health disabilities themselves who require more adapted and qualified support.
The purpose of the partnership is to ensure that the skills of professionals/service providers for people with mental health disabilities match the developments in the sector. It will also contribute to the quality of social inclusion for this public. The aim of this partnership is to exchange the best practices in order ensure that service providers for people with mental health disabilities can improve theirs skills and provide quality and innovative support towards employment and meeting their specific needs.
The project ABOVE partnership incorporates a very strong European dimension through the transnational cooperation of best practices, in order to improve the socio-professional remobilization of young people suffering from a mental health disability.
