The diagnoses within the class are: addiction, borderline, psychosis, bi polar disorder and of course my own the chronic depression. It was quite moving but also interesting to be informed how the diagnosis are being described from persons formally suffered from it. I had a very nice experience on a break. One of my classmates came to me and told me, that she thought of me. I was falling into old thinking behaviors and thought, that now something bad would h...

One month after the last meeting, we all met again in the beautiful former monastery. We began with a game to control, if we still remembering the names of each other. I had problems with 3 out of the group, but at the end of this module I knew them. The main content war the question what health is, and or means. At first glance the questions seams simple to answer, but as we dived into the presentation and the history of the meaning of the word „health“ it became clear, that the meaning isn't fixed and has changed a lot within the last century.

Our first get together meeting with all 20 classmates and the 2 Instructors. Only 23 hours before the course started I was informed, that someone was canceled his seat in the education. My instructor asked me if I where flexible and willing to fill the seat. I accepted without hesitation. I was fighting nearly 6 month to be a part of the top 20. Currently there are only 2 places, where the education is available. One in the capital City Bern and the one I am visiting in St. Urban. St. Urban is formerly barock monastery far away from „civilization“ and is used today as a mental health clinic. The course is lasting 16 month. When the course is held on place, then the other is resting. So in 2 Years there are max 20 finished educated Peers. Very few for the whole of Switzerland. And now I think you can imagine how difficult it is to become a member of the top 20. It is a real privilege to be one of them. On this first day we where concentrating mainly on games to learn each other names. A...
