Summary:
TOSEVÍ was established in 2019 as a self-advocacy NGO hoping that it can contribute to strengthening the involvement of people with mental health problems both in policymaking and mental health care in the region. Last but not least, it strives to spread self-help activities from a regional city to regions so that self-help is more easily available to anyone who suffers from a mental health illness. We will also promote the topic through public destigmatization events.
Based in CHRC (Clubhouse and Recovery College) in Pilsen and with the kind support of the Ledovec, the organisation plans to significantly strengthen their capacity. They will create and train a team, offer regular self-help activities in Pilsen and at least three other places in the region, and offer a number of educational courses led by people with their own experience with a mental health illness. The project will involve peer workers at the Psychiatric Clinic in Pilsen, the Psychiatric Department of the Klatovy Hospital, and the Lnáře Psychiatric Hospital.
As co-organizers, the organisation will participate in the Mental Health Days program in the region and strengthen the voice of people with their own experience with mental health illness there. The organisation will also participate in the meetings of the regional working groups on the transformation of Czech psychiatry and in other meetings.
