  • The Stigma of Mental Illness

    Strategies Against Social Exclusion and Discrimination
    • 1st Edition
    • Nicolas Ruesch

    People with mental illness are often painfully familiar with overt prejudice or more subtle forms of mistreatment. The stigma and discrimination associated with their disorders can have effects in several areas of life: in social interactions, in work and healthcare settings, in the legal system and the media. Many withdraw due to shame and do not seek help. In turn, stigma can prove to be a more serious problem than the disorder itself. Yet too little is done to reduce stigma and its impact.The Stigma of Mental Illness: Strategies Against Discrimination and Social Exclusion offers up the knowledge necessary to understand and fight against stigma and discrimination. It will be invaluable to all health professionals, social workers, healthcare managers and policy makers with an involvement or interest in mental illness.

  • Animer en Humanitude

    L'animation dans les établissements d'accueil des personnes fragilisées
    • 2nd Edition
    • Philippe Crône
    • French
    Dans les établissements d’accueil des personnes fragilisées, on compte de nombreux soignants pour un ou deux animateurs, la prise en soin étant devenue la priorité au détriment de la dimension sociale et humaine. Or si on limite l’animation à une activité de loisir ou à un « passe-temps », on ne donne pas à l’animateur la place qui lui est due. Son rôle est bien plus ambitieux : créer un lien social et placer la dignité humaine au centre des soins, tout en s’adaptant aux besoins de l’établissement et des résidents. Car, quelle est la valeur de la prise en soin, si elle ne va pas de pair avec une démarche humaine et sociale ? Ce livre développe le projet d’animation en trois points, autour de la philosophie de l’Humanitude, afin d’aider les animateurs et les structures à mettre en place une dynamique pluridisciplinaire et promouvoir le vivre ensemble. 1. L’animation solidaire. Elle a pour but de faire de l’établissement un lieu où il fait bon vivre et de développer une dynamique sociale porteuse d’envies et de projets vers un vivre ensemble loin de toute ségrégation. 2. Le projet d’accompagnement social personnalisé. Les animateurs apportent leurs compétences spécifiques et leur légitimité au service du projet de chaque résident. Ce livre décrit et propose des outils de traçabilité, de stratégie sociale et d’évaluation en fonction du public accueilli. 3. La communication. L’animateur doit assurer une médiation à deux niveaux. C’est d’abord la relation avec l’extérieur en relayant des valeurs positives de la structure, comme les évènements festifs. Il doit aussi communiquer à l’intérieur de la structure de façon à mettre en relation les professionnels avec les résidents. Ce livre, qui s’adresse à tous les animateurs et les soignants, propose une réflexion, une démarche et des outils pour mettre en place une animation professionnelle. Au-delà de l’activité ludique, la citoyenneté est au centre de ce projet pour les établissements d’accueil, afin que les résidents puissent y vivre le mieux possible, quels que soient leurs problèmes ou leur pathologie. Cette nouvelle édition révisée s’enrichit également d’un nouveau chapitre sur le projet d’accompagnement personnalisé pour mieux accompagner la personne dans l’amélioration de sa santé selon les règles de l’art, les principes, les démarches et les outils de l’Humanitude.
