TREE programme

Additional information:

Three key premises

  • Recovery does not equal cure. It means becoming aware of your own vulnerabilities and talents and using that knowledge to retake control of your life.
  • Empowerment is discovering and mobilising your own strengths.
  • Experiential expertise means putting to use the knowledge that people with mental health issues have accumulated through their experiences.

About this project:

The programme entitled Towards Recovery, Empowerment and Experiential Expertise (TREE, or HEE in Dutch) provides effective methods and strategies developed by people with mental health vulnerabilities in order to help themselves.

  • The TREE team is made up of instructors who are experts by experience. They pass on their knowledge to others with mental health issues, to help empower them and prevent marginalisation.
  • The TREE programme offers self-help groups, one-day conferences, courses and theme meetings.
  • The TREE team also provides customised health education, advises and coaches individuals and organisations, and gives informative lectures.
