Supported learning project 2006-2008
Project aims
- to promote educational equality for recovering mental health patients in public education system. This enables supported studies in one's own home town, with no need to travel.
- to further develop supported studying models and to make them part of Clubhouse/houses operation after 2008.
Some important aspects of developing the model are, for example, Clubhouse-based support with everyday life; social relations; training sessions in small groups and peer support groups, to support and keep up learning abilities; as well as personal counselling with studies.
Suvimäki Clubhouse aims to develop supported studying models in co-operation with local educational institutes in and around Jyväskylä. RAY (Finland's Slot Machine Association) funds the project and partner institutes include, for example, Jyväskylän aikuisopisto, Jyväskylän ammattiopisto, JAMK University of Applied Sciences, University of Jyväskylä, Järvenpää Rehabilititation Centre of Finnish Association of People with Physical Disabilities (Invalidiliitto), Kuhankosken erityisammattikoulu (now Bovallius-ammattiopisto Laukaa) as well as the national and the international clubhouse network.
