An alternative to mental health

Entrée chez soi bases its methods on Alternative mental health.

This is characterized by an attitude of respect for the people primarily concerned, their life stories, and their reality. We believe that everyone has mental health, which is characterized by a search for balance. We also believe that recovery can follow multiple paths, outside of the medical approach.

The organization is also inspired by autonomous popular education (EPA), a process aimed at social transformation outside of institutions, based on the experiences and opinions of the people concerned. EPA aims for a fairer and more united society.

Entrée chez soi Brome-Missisquoi works on all spheres of life for individuals living with mental health issues.
