The event started at Saturday with amusing music performance by "Ganthy". The first lecture was "Poverty in Welfare state" and a speaker Sakari Kainulainen. Kainulainen introduced concept of absolute poverty and related poverty and challenges because of those. Next speaker was Heini Kapanen. Her lecture was very informative but little hard to follow.
The most interested lecture was performed by Päivi Rissanen. She bring along brave and personal survival strory about strong depression with many diagnosis. She can managed to do possible from impossible. I hope and believe that Päivi`s story will give hope many persons who are suffering with mental health issues.
End of the Saturday we did study visits five different mental health, supported housing and addiction treatment services places in the area.
Next day at Sunday I was only participate in the morning lectures because of illness. The day was started with the silent moment and after that there was the key note lecture by the researcher of Ikali Karvinen. He was speaks about the undocumented migration in Finland. After that we were do some teamwork and discussed and answered some questions give us by teachers.
The weekend was interestning and instructive. I wish personally that we could have more of these kind of teaching metod. I was learning more about the statistics of mental health and also the poverty (absolute and relative). It was useful to communicate with the Nordic students. There is always some hope to left. You should never give up. (Rissanen 2016).
