The second international meeting of the Erasmus+ Hero Housing project: an educational European Road to civil rights was held in Zagreb in recent days.
the Di Liegro Foundation, Italian partner, in its very recent research "Care networks and mental distress. Users, families and mental health services in Rome" has highlighted how the theme of living is an important element for projecting oneself into the future. Among others, users who are currently in family homes and apartment groups or supported apartments were also interviewed. "When asked about their aspiration for a desired future location, the prevailing opinion was that of wanting to "go and live in my own apartment" (53 %) or at most with other people (17.6%). Only the 3% would like to return to the family in the future. It is clear that a path to recovery to a normal and inclusive life, even with the symptoms of the disease, passes through a project of independent living shared or not with others".
With the HERO project we work together to build useful tools for people with mental distress, families, operators, communities; and accompany this journey towards the right to live independently with competence and passion.
