AIMS
SMES-EUROPA operates in order to improve mental,
physical & social well-being, and to promote inclusion, citizenship
and solidarity in European Countries for people living in extreme
social and health precariousness.
Ø
OBJECTIVES
The SMES network aims to develop research and disseminate effective
models of medical and social care for deprived and disadvantaged
people:
1. Research/action
:
Not enough is known yet about needs and services in
the European context to adapt a prescriptive approach. Rather we
seek:
-
to identify innovative services
-
to develop and evaluate new interventions
-
to translate knowledge into practical action
2. Information
and heightening of awareness :
SMES promotes awareness in
society as a whole, and more specifically among social and health
workers, policy makers.
3. Networking
:
SMES is an European network
improving opportunities of working together and promoting multi-
promoting multi-disciplinary co-operation between :
-
workers in the fields of health care and social welfare
- workers
in public & private sectors
-
researchers
and practitioners
- professionals
and voluntary people directly working with mentally ill and
excluded people
4. Education and training :
SMES works for the promotion
and dissemination of effective
projects and practices by means of study days, seminars
and conferences. The intention is to offer an opportunity to
workers, users, ex-users and their relatives of exchanging ideas,
experiences and know-how.
