Abstract

One of the main goals of our rehabilitation unit for the serious mental illness is the fight against the scourge of stigma. As an example of our daily work we review the visit that a school of practical nurse students made us. The visit became a relational experience between the visitors and the users of the unit in which through games, oral expression and body language activities we worked with concepts as stigma and prevention. The active participation of the users in the activities and their emotional implication with the visitors made them move forward in their rehabilitation and social inclusion overcoming stigma.
