The Overall Objective Of This Project Is To Tangibly Improve The Living Conditions Of People With Disabilities And Vulnerable Populations Through An Inclusive And Participatory Approach. The Vision Of Change For This Second Phase Of The Cpp Remains Consistent With That Envisaged In Phase 1.

The Project Is Pursuing Two Specific Complementary Objectives By Working In Both The Mental Health Sector And The Inclusive Education/Vocational Training Continuum.

The Mental Health Encompasses Three Dimensions: Distress, Mental Disorders, And Positive Mental Health. Our Action Aims To Alleviate Distress Related To The Fragile Stories In Which Hi And It Partners Work By Strengthening Community Resources To Prevent And Manage Pre-Existing Mental Disorders Or Exacerbated By These Same Contexts And Thus Contribute To Positive Mental Health.
