To limit the negative outcomes of the coronavirus ZonMw has started ‘Creative solutions for mental healthcare during the corona crisis’. Barbara C. Groot-Sluijsmans and her team are part of this regulation with their participatory action research with people in vulnerable situations .
The project aims to stimulate people in vulnerable circumstances to share and think of creative solutions with each other. In small groups, guided by trained experience experts who share their knowledge, conversations are started to share experiences of others who find themselves in similar situations. Thereafter, conversations will be held to share stories and possible solutions with people in vulnerable situations. The most important experiences and solutions will become freely accessible via a website.
