A webinar organized by the Dutch International Mental Health Hub
What are the benefits of using a child rights-based approach? And how are these rights currently implemented in youth mental health care across the world?
In this webinar, we will focus on two rights in particular: the right to grow up (mentally) healthy and the right to be heard, and thus to be actively involved in policymaking.
The 11th EUCOMS network meeting will take place in Krakow in May 2022 during the Community Psychiatry Forum of Beneficiaries, Families and Professionals.

The main goal of the webinar is to share developments and findings from 4 different countries: the United Kingdom, the Czech Republic, the Netherlands, and the Republic of Estonia. Questions we will address:
• What is the value of the (Peer) Open Dialogue approach?
• What is the role of peer workers and other professions in Open Dialogue?
• How the Open Dialogue Approach may change current mental health care practises?
• How may Open Dialogue be combined with other models or approaches?
• How to implement Open Dialogue in mental health care systems, in organisations, in teams?
The webinar will be hosted by Jean Pierre Wilken, the president of The CARe Network, a university professor involved in mental health care reforms and one of the authors of the Model CARe. He will introduce shortly the Open Dialogue approach, its core aspects in current developments and its connectedness to other models of care.
