ABOUT
Althea
Support center for psychosocial health.
Method
Part of the treatment through the supporting groups is to create fairy tale-like stories that help wider understanding of the environment in which the patients are located.
Goal
De- institutionalization.
The calendar
By scratching each day that passes a letter is revealed. At the end of the year a story consisted of 365 letters is completed.
Scope
To make a story that will help patients to understand and experience the reality that promotes their mental health.
The (translated) story:
In the morning I am a General
A while after I am pregnant
I go up and down
Looking for a cigarette
What are you looking at?
I am not (feeling) well
I fall down
I am alive thought
Bits and peaces of my body everywhere
Come get your drugs
For years I live alone, trapped in all these
They dont understand me
They are scared
But I am more scared
It is not their fault
They dont know
It is not my fault either
I have got much to give
I dont know how
I want to learn
Show me
Together we sure can
We just need to give something:
Space
Time
Care
Love
Life
What do you think?
