A new website about Open Dialogue...Yet another !
Well, here's the story:
The movement towards a more humanistic approach to mental health is growing and Open Dialogue resources are scattered in many Countries, languages, web pages..
While talking about this we thought it might be useful to have a public, searchable, and hopefully comprehensive directory of all the places around the world where Open Dialogue is practiced to help connecting our community.
We thought that the website should be primarily directed to people in crisis looking for help.
So we decided to start with Clinical Centers.
Then perhaps this could also help to share ideas or news about training courses, dialogical practices or events, so we could add sections..
Uncertainty is precious!
At the moment this website is nothing more than a personal challenge, self funded and without sponsors, available for free to everybody so....
here comes the request for help !
First of all: any thoughts and feelings, suggestions, critics, comments etc. will be very much appreciated.
Then: we would like to know contact details of each and every Open Dialogue Clinical Center (maybe yours!) around the world, to include in the list (click here to see it) and in the map (click here to see it).
A Center can be everything from a big hospital to a small private practice.
The one-and-only condition to be listed is delivering (also!) an Open Dialogue oriented treatment.
Inclusion is free and voluntary.
Disclaimer: As for now we are not planning any particular check or requirement.
We will compile it to our best knowledge, relying on available descriptions.
To collect "New" Centers data we setup a page that, we hope, will make things easier.
Registration is needed for technical reasons. So, when you've done, please have a look.
To share thoughts and feelings we set up a Forum, hopefully polyphonic, so a PolyForum, that everybody can read.
Registration is needed to post comments or add new topics.
Site’s structure is multilingual, now including: English, Italian and Spanish. Any page can have one ore more translations, if available. Default is English. More languages to be added.
Help with translations in any language will be very much appreciated.
Thanks everybody for any comment.
