For our mental health and psychological well-being during a pandemic: Partnership for an online implementation of the Recovery College model

Google translate: The current pandemic has a clear negative impact on the mental health and well-being of the population, in particular for health workers, on the front lines and vulnerable clients. This project aims to evaluate the online adaptation of the training activities of the Center d'apprentissage Sante et Retablissement, the French-speaking Health and Recovery Learning Center of Canada, in response to the needs of the health sector. These settings want to support the mental health, psychological well-being and resilience of their vulnerable workers and clients (women, people with mental or chronic illness, people with disabilities, caregivers) by allowing quick, free access and online has co-learning trainings. Established initially in England, then in 22 countries, the Health and Recovery Learning Centers put forward a unique educational approach where everyone has access to training on well-being and mental health, the recovery of the power to act and recovery and better living together. The model is based on the sharing of knowledge and the proximity of learners from various backgrounds. By participating in training, learners collectively equip themselves and reflect both on their own way of taking care of themselves as well as on their attitudes, behaviors and practices in terms of mental health. For the past two years, the Health and Recovery Learning Center has been funded and directed by a group of 12 partners from different sectors of activity (health and social services, educational settings, civic organizations, academic settings). Together, they set up the first French-speaking Health and Recovery Learning Center in Canada offering a range of training in different cities of Quebec (santeretablissement.com). To date, no training has been offered online and adapted to the needs of health care settings in the context of a pandemic.]
