Fascinant ponència de Bern Puschner sobre Peer to peer. Un gran congrés gràcies a la sinergia entre @uvic_ucc @althaiamanresa @Osonament i CHV.
Replying to @althaiamanresa
El projecte @UpsidesProject que estudia el suport entre iguals utilitzant l'experiència personal en malaltia mental, presentat pel Prof. Puschner ha generat un interessant debat. @SALVADORSIMO ha traduït i moderat la ponència i la psicòloga Gemma Prat ha actuat com a discussora.
