Institutional work
Welcome to our Institutional Work Section! We are pleased to present you with a space dedicated to the active engagement of the Italian Bipolar Association in the fields of mental health and human rights. In this section, we focus on initiatives and projects aimed at promoting significant changes in the Italian healthcare system, ensuring better access to services, and greater protection of the rights of individuals with psychiatric disorders and their families.
Our institutional work is divided into several fundamental parts:
- Defense of Human Rights of Psychiatric Patients: We collaborate nationally and internationally in the MENCAP project, a long and complex initiative spanning a decade. Through this project, we aim to promote a better understanding of the human rights of people with psychiatric disorders, working closely with other organizations and institutions to implement significant changes in the healthcare system.
- Information and Communications with Public Entities: We actively interact with entities such as the government and hospitals to provide information, advice, and support in managing issues related to patients with bipolar disorders and other psychiatric conditions. We strive to improve communication and collaboration between healthcare institutions and the Association to ensure appropriate and respectful treatment for all patients.
- Complaints and User Protection Service: We offer a dedicated service to individuals wishing to report cases of malpractice or abuse in the healthcare system. Through a meeting with the Association’s board, we take responsibility for managing the complaint directly with the involved entity, representing the user and safeguarding them throughout the process.
