The strength to talk about the voices phenomenon and the importance of trying to understand it without judgment or stigmatization. It is a wish of understanding and solidarity toward a misunderstood but fully present worldwide phenomenon.

4 FIRST NATIONS AND INUITS: HONOR OUR KNOWLEDGE! The First Nations and the Inuits have developed a knowledge specific to their culture and history. An important knowledge that must be perpetuated among their nation and deserves more consideration and care. Furthermore, there are some particularly difficult realities that are very close to us and are often ignored. Indeed, some historical and intergenerational issues can be included such as cultural safeguards, community governance and development. There are all influencing the social context where prejudices and discrimination are still present.

We asked Mr. Bouchard to share his reflections on “Living together!”

An opening conference custom-made for you! Serge Bouchard provides us with an original pathway elaborated in line with our theme: “Dare – Influence – Transform”. Serge Bouchard travelled as an anthropologist The eroded identity of the suffering or stigmatized through different communities for many years. His groups more and more unmask and confirm our vision results from a rich crossing of knowledge and shared differences and wisdom. How can we dare lived experiences of “Living together”. He relays to to begin sharing in a same life environment, in a us the desire to recognize oneself in relationship with common space, where everyone can accept with our environment. This experience within ourselves his/her, color, resonance, contact and difference? cannot be separated from our environment. Our We all need to get out of fear, fear of the other or encounter with innovation create a path that reaches apprehension of change. towards the others. It brings growth and change.. Our often convergent and sometimes divergent “Living together”, is to take part in all these trajectories shape the choice we make. The “Living dimensions; it is an invitation to walk our own together” is thus an adventure whose boundaries and path toward a diversity of pathways, while finding processes are alive and moving. It is there to notice, discoveries in ourselves and in others! expand, transform, inventing and reinventing new means to transmit!

By coming together and sharing living in a social context; especially where discrimination memories with each other, we will learn refinement and exclusion are still present? Let’s take a chance by daring to participate in something larger. together so that we can evolve despite of conflicts and challenges, as we dare to grow and invent ourselves. By taking the risk to influence our siblings, neighbors and living environment, we can realize our hopes of participation, transformation and inclusion!

Serge Bouchard has accepted the challenge of the Opening of the 19th AQRP Congress! He is an anthropologist and a writer, an original, audacious and inspiring Quebecker speaker and radio presenter who is always browsing the frontiers of collective life experiences often left in the shadow, yet to be discovered! www.sergebouchard.ca 8 ROUND TABLE: XX Tuesday November 12 - 11 am

“Community organization in mental health: A powerful lever for social transformation!” “Grassroots” or “Astro Turf”? refers to an authentic citizen-led movement because its origins and dynamics come from the base. They take root in the needs established within the community. The emergence of “false movements” artificially created par advertising agencies are called “Astro Turf”, by reference to the synthetic grass because they usurp the identity of a citizen movement. These stratagems imitate the truth and divert the energy of an authentic movement coming from the basis.

Yet, are the implementation and development of programs and services, through social factors so far from basic needs? Is the process of diluting and dissolving the collective a true dimension of community organization?

This round table brings together panelists from different horizons, places (in America and Europe) and practices to question issues that are specific to community organization. It aims to generate reflection on the mobilization and development of communities along with the emergence of a citizen movement in the mental health community. How is the community organization involved in the emergence of a citizen movement in mental health? How does it contribute to developing the empowerment of individuals living with a mental health problem and to the emancipation of their communities?

Here are our 5 panelists:

Mots clés : Rétablissement, accompagnateur, espoir Réalisation : Mathieu Arsenault Production : Nathalie Barton (InformAction Film), 2019 Synopsis : Louis a été batteur du groupe les Sinners, détective privé et toxicomane. Frédérique est une photographe talentueuse et pas toujours sage comme une image. Mathieu Arsenault est cinéaste et père de famille, mi-ange, mi-démon. Ce qui les unit, c’est leur trouble affectif bipolaire. Ils ont connu les extases de la psychose et les méandres de la dépression. Ils ont trébuché et sont tombés très bas, puis ils se sont relevés. Aujourd’hui, en pleine possession de leurs moyens, ils se racontent pour combattre les préjugés et donner de l’espoir à tous ceux et celles qui sont aux prises avec la maladie mentale.

Une réalisation de Pierre Craig, journaliste et animateur d’affaires publiques et Roger Archambault, les deux cofondateurs de la série « Les frères humains ».

Je m’en suis sorti tant bien que mal, mais abîmé dans ma confiance en moi. J’ai fait d’autres attaques de panique, à la radio en direct. Une autre peur est alors apparue, terrifiante celle-là : que ça arrive encore, que je m’effondre devant tout le monde. Et je ne pouvais absolument rien y faire. » (Pierre Craig)

Mots clés : Rétablissement, accompagnateur, espoir Réalisation : Nathalie Godfrind ; Édouard Nadeau-Besse ; Marc St-Martin, Association québécoise pour la réadaptation psychosociale Synopsis : « Histoires de voix; paroles d’entendeurs » raconte la souffrance et le processus de rétablissement vécus par 8 entendeurs de voix. Les protagonistes nous partagent, avec beaucoup de générosité, leur expérience au sein des groupes d’entendeurs de voix du Québec, la quête de sens qui les ont animés au cœur de la maladie et les victoires personnelles qui leurs ont permis de se réinventer, voire de se rétablir. Grâce à l’entraide que l’on retrouve dans les groupes, au partage de stratégies pour mieux composer avec les voix, aux échanges sur l’expérience vécue et au désir d’introspection qui en découle, les personnes qui ont participé au documentaire nous démontrent qu’il est possible de briser l’isolement, d’échapper aux tabous liés à l’entente de voix, de reprendre du pouvoir sur sa vie et sur ses voix, de surmonter des traumatismes et de retrouver l’estime de soi.

Le documentaire Histoire de voix ; paroles d’entendeurs est né du besoin de présenter la réalité des entendeurs de voix et des groupes d’entendeurs de voix d’ici et de mettre de l’avant les pratiques innovantes mises en application au Québec.

Suivant la projection, un échange aura lieu entre l’équipe de production/réalisation et les participants.

THE “CARNIVAL” DES VOIX An original concept by Kevin Healey, founder of the Toronto Voice Hearers Network. Organized by: Kevin Healey and Dave Umbongo, Toronto

Puppets are used around the world. They allow all forms of languages, dialects and expressions to be heard. They provide a space that is safe and rich in meaning. They can help to overcome taboos and barriers. It is from this perspective that the “Carnival” des Voix invites you to this fun activity of expression and solidarity with voice hearers. Come participate in the creation of a puppet! Make one by giving to it a voice you hear, its own profile, history and share what you have learned. If you do not hear voices, you are also welcome to let your little inner voice express itself… Over the course of the congress, the puppets will be displayed, and the parade may surprise you: a celebration of diversity and dialogue, a polyphony, a carnival of voices! The “Carnival” des voix is a gathering in support of expression and solidarity.

MINI-BOOK FAIR

The AQRP, with the collaboration of the author and speaker Richard Langlois, invites to you a mini-book fair. Books written by people with a significant experience will be available on the spot (sell or review) Some of the authors will even be present to dedicate your book!

Collectif créatif des GEV de Montréal (creative collective of the voice hearers' groups of Montreal): Bertrand, Catherine, Steven, Sylvain, Suzie, Myriam-Anouk, Marie In collaboration with the Montreal Museum of Fine Arts, creation meetings, bringing together the participants of some voice hearers' groups from Montreal, organized during Spring 2019.

By first creating a free sculpture from wood and soil, boats came to life. The medium itself already had its small story to tell. Within hours, the participants navigated them. Thereafter, the celebration of this universal symbol is taken from the creation experience. These participants express the unique beings they are. They pronounce these words:

“Everybody is in the same ship, but everybody thinks they have their own row boat.”And what did they extract from the boat? They learned to swim! They were thrown in the water and got out of it more alive than ever!

Marie Gagné Creation Wave, Mixed media Of a contemplative nature, my thoughts navigate the depths of my psyche. The imaginary nourishes me. Silences of all kinds reside in me since a long time ago. A continuous wave, a flow of torments and creation.

55 THE AQRP IS PROUD TO SUPPORT AND HOST THE 11TH INTERVOICE CONGRESS For almost 30 years, the AQRP mobilizes all the people and organizations concerned with rehabilitation and recovery in order to innovate, diffuse and improve mental health practices and services in Quebec. Through its activities of knowledge sharing and its innovative and unifying events, it supports people and organizations to promote social inclusion and well- being of people living or having lived with a mental health problem.

The association considers that it is society’s responsibility to offer people living or having lived with a mental health problem and or people close to them, the means to develop to their full potential; take ownership of their power to act; to recover; to actively participate and contribute to their community; to improve their quality of life; and to assume the roles derived from a full citizenship.

The Quebec Voice Hearers Network (RevQ) The Quebec Voice Hearers Network (le Réseau des entendeurs de voix, REV) has the mission to promote an approach close to voice hearers. Indeed, it embraces, supports and integrates their life experiences and their different perceptions related to the voices. This approach considers the voices phenomenon as meaningful for each person experiencing it. It allows them to recover power over their voices and their life. The voice hearers network, created by the Pavois organization in 2012, and now managed by the AQRP, is developing cheerfully. About thirty groups across the province of Quebec are members from the network.

Intervoice, the hearing voices network Intervoice aims to support the International Hearing Voices Movement by connecting people, sharing ideas, distributing information, highlighting innovative initiatives, encouraging high quality respectful research, and promoting its values across the world.

The International Hearing Voices Movement consists of the diverse conversations, initiatives, groups and individuals around the world that share core values. In particular, it consists of the consideration of hearing voices, having visions and related phenomena as meaningful experiences that can be understood in many ways. http://www.intervoiceonline.org/about-intervoice
