Loneliness and confidence

Sakari Kainulainen told in his presentation that loneliness is the same feel inspite of how much money you have. That point was very interesting. We can easily think that people how are rich are happiness and they have everything , but I think  that the feel of happiness you can not buy. 

Next notice I made was one of the most wonderful story  that Päivi Rissanen told about her experience. Nearly the experience of her process of mental health rehabilitation.

I learnt that our society have still, lots of developing, how we have to trust people and that no-one psychiatric patient is not hopeless! We have to organizate and have new ways to learn how we can get patients and psychiatric clients to take part in their rehabilitation and support activity, studying or working. It doesn't succes if only professional persons are building and  developing social- and healt services. We need also the people who have experience of psychiatric healt care and who could tell the succesful treatments to everyone. Päivis presentation was very needfull to me because  i got more data that no one is not hopeless "case". As professional confidence with the patient is the way to  change. That confidence have to base together with the patient.

At the end i could  abstract that the money do not make the feel of  happiness and confidence with the real meeting without preconceptions open challenges to change and give richer life to each other!
