GORIZIA 2020

Abstract

The authors have different professional roles and age. They share their work in public and no-profit organizations for mental health in the area of Gorizia, FVG. In the co-writing “starting from self-awareness,” they have analyzed their actual/real work. Different needs from various people experiencing conflicts in many areas such as family, work, health/social organizations and multidisciplinary groups lead to multiple perspectives at different levels of consideration, interpretation, understanding. Working group and those who experience discomfort come from a world of divisions, categorizations and hierarchies: the world that produces illness. “To take care of the world” does not cure people with psychiatric diseases: it takes apart diagnoses and forces all of us to find new questions. It makes us think about other possible answers starting from self-awareness and keen and explicit and self-transforming collective actions.
