I participated to this very interesting intensive course in Helsinki. First day started with a morning coffee and music by Ganthy band. After that we had three lessons of poverty in welfare state. Afternoon we had a study tour and I got to know more about Global clinic. That was very interesting and everything was new for me. They are helping undocumented migrants.
Most interesting speaker at first day was Päivi Rissanen. She told as her own story, when she was ill for seven years. She had over 40 inpatient treatment on the mental hospitals. She was chronic ward as hopeless and a difficult case. Over 300 nurses took care of her and how this one nurse asked her "Do you what to stay here in hospital rest of your life Päivi?" and how that changed her life. She found an own way to rehabilitate. Now she has written a book and is telling her story to professions. She wants to tell professionals that discussion, connection between two real persons, trust, mutual respect, concern and understanding are the most important things in human interaction and helping people.
I started the Sunday enjoying morning devotion and silent moment at chapel. After that we did mostly group works. That was very interesting and a little bit exiting too. Day ended with summery and a little feedback for what we had learned at this intensive weekend.
This weekend I learned the importance of human interaction. That is the most important thing for us professionals, how to get people from shadow to light!
