CARe Europe Conference 17-18 June 2015

FROM EXCLUSION TO INCLUSION

A CHALLENGING SOCIAL ENTERPRISE!

3^rd CARe Europe Conference

17 - 18 June, 2015

Conference Centre National Technical Library

Prague, Czech Republic

CARe Europe is an international network promoting recovery and social inclusion.

The themes for this conference are:

1. Recovery and social inclusion

2. Social Entrepreneurship

3. Challenges for institutional change

One of the important aspects of recovery is to be(come) part of the world (again), to have meaningful activities and social roles. It requires not only efforts from the part of the person but also from the part of the community, in terms of supports and opportunities.

Peer support, family support and professional services which are focused on recovery & inclusion are essential ingredients. New possibilities emerge when the focus shifts from services to the community, from care to entrepreneurship, from social benefits to paid labour.

Special Keynote speaker: Dr Julie Repper

She is the author of many books, including: Social Inclusion and Recovery: A Model for Mental Health Practice. She was involved in the development of one of the first Recovery Colleges in the U.K.
