Réflexion D'un Entraidant Sur L'entraide Dans Les Groupes D'entraide En Santé Mentale Au Québec

Publication: Canadian Journal of Community Mental Health
September 1995

Résumé

Je considère que j'ai un droit de parole privilégié sur l'entraide dans les groupes d'entraide en santé mentale parce que je suis titulaire d'un équivalent de «diplôme universitaire» du centre hospitalier de Valleyfield, département psychiatrique où je fus psychiatrisé. C'est aussi parce que c'est l'entraide qui m'a sorti de la torpeur et de la résignation où j'étais plongé depuis mon séjour en psychiatrie. Il faut aussi savoir que je suis fatigué de me faire dire comment faire et quoi dire sur le vécu psychiatrique par des personnes qui n'y sont jamais allées. Certaines réflexions du Regroupement des Ressources Alternatives en Santé Mentale du Québec (RRASMQ) sur les groupes d'entraide seront aussi présentées.

Abstract

I feel I am indeed qualified to address the subject of support within self-help groups for persons with mental health problems because I have the equivalent of a bachelor's degree worth of experience obtained during my internment in the Valleyfield hospital psychiatric ward. The support I received is responsible for climinating the torpor and passiveness that had overwhelmed me since my hospitalization. I must also add that I am tired of being told what to do and what to say about psychiatric problems by people who have never been hospitalized. I will also discuss issues on self-help groups presented in the report drafted by the Alternative Resources Group for Mental Health in Quebee.
