Empowerment of Mental Illness Service Users: Life Long Learning, Integration and Action

Objective

EMILIA is an integrated project which addresses the requirements of the workprogramme 2.1.4 with respect to LifeLong Learning. It makes a substantial contribution to the European Research Area by providing new momentum through: better use of instruments of indirect support, the development of information networks, and the encouragement of the exchange and spread of good practice and information exchange. It addresses the ethical issues involved in research of this scale thoroughly. It also seeks to develop a common system of scientific and technical reference for policy implementation particularly in the areas of LifeLong Learning, Social Inclusion, and employment. Research activities will comprehensively review LifeLong Learning strategies and explore these as a means for achieving empowerment and social inclusion for selected groups of citizens with an emphasis on disability groups, including mental health service users. Central to the research are two linked research designs: a multi-site organisational case study and a multiple site time series design. Subsequent activities focus on the effectiveness of lifelong learning approaches for mental health service users. The EMILIA project will in addition demonstrate a high level of innovation through achieving the empowerment of mental health users and reducing their social exclusion through the innovative use of LifeLong Learning. This project seeks to empower mental health service users and encourages mental health service users to maximise service user involvement in the training for and delivery of new and innovative services, and by so doing, opening up new employment routes for service users, thus integrating European Union employment strategy within it. Accredited training is offered to develop service user capability in: research, audit, education, training and service delivery.
