We are pleased to share that preparations are underway for the Erasmus+ project Pathways to Recovery (2025-1-SE01-KA210-ADU-000351298), a small-scale initiative set to begin on 4 December 2025 and run until 3 August 2027. The project aims to support the recovery journey of individuals living with mental health conditions and to empower the informal carers who accompany them.

A Fruitful Preliminary Meeting

Our  partners — Schizofreniförbundet (Sweden), Recovery IPSS (Portugal),  and EUFAMI (Belgium) — recently came together for a preliminary virtual meeting to lay the foundation for our collaboration. This first gathering set the tone for a thoughtful and impactful project.

The discussion focused on:

  • Strategies for promoting recovery for adults facing mental health challenges

  • The essential role of informal caregivers across Europe

  • Coordinating educational and awareness activities across partner countries

This meeting marks the beginning of a shared journey to improve understanding, gather good practices, and advocate for better support systems across Europe.

What We Aim to Achieve

The Pathways to Recovery project will:

  • Share effective methods for mental health recovery

  • Promote education and training for professionals

  • Raise awareness about the needs of informal carers

  • Ultimately improve the quality of life for people with mental health challenges and their families

Upcoming Activities

The project will include a series of learning activities and public awareness events aligned with key international days:

  • 🇬🇷 Aegina, Greece: Learning activity during European Mental Health Week (21–24 May 2026) organised by EPIONI.

  • 🇵🇹 Portugal: Activities for the International Day of Persons with Disabilities (December 2026)

  • 🇸🇪 Sweden: Final meeting, learning activity & study visit (June 2027)

Additionally, three awareness events will take place across partner countries in October 2026, in observance of World Mental Health Day.
