provide an insight into the on - going work in the barcelona demonstration site of the european 6th framework emilia project ( empowerment of mental illness service users : lifelong learning , integration and empowerment ) .
determine how this work bridges the gap between mental health users and the mental health institution .
to demonstrate how the methodology of life long learning is used to train a group of mental health service users to become experts by experience ( ebe ) .
the ebe is a new professionally recognised working profile within the psychiatric hospital which aims to offer a better understanding of the mental health institution to mental health service users ; informing them about hospital layout and procedures ; strengthening the relationship between service users and professionals ; stimulating the relationships between the service user and their social network friends and family .
this act of sharing experience and knowledge , and passing it on from one user to another is vital to give continuity to the lifelong learning process .
the ebe completes a dynamic , interactive training programme where personal strengths , recovery , people skills , learning more about the workings of the mental health institutions and how to encourage others to work towards empowerment .
all users complete an average of 36 h of preparative training before embarking on the 20 h ebe training course .
the traditional line of sanitary care in mental health institutions has sometimes ignored the importance of recording the knowledge that users can give . by creating the profile of ebe within the mental hospital , this knowledge
is guaranteed to transcend from one user to another and hence , not only benefiting the recovery process for the users involved , but also improving the care given by the institutions .
