WAPR Bulletin

WAPR Bulletin is together with the website the major source of communication in our worldwide network. Here we can exchange information, present new ideas for practice development, inspire each other in ways of involving service users and family members both in WAPR activities and in local projects, encourage the establishment of new branches and together promote psychosocial rehabilitation around the world.

In order to strengthen our WAPR network we publish two Bulletins every year; in June and December.

There are five sections:

1.

Message by the president

2.

Editorial

3.

Articles

4.

Sharing of experiences (Field reports from branches, Experiences from users, organizations and other stakeholders etc.)

5.

Upcoming meetings and announcements

We strongly encourage Regional Vice-residents and deputies regularly to provide reports from their regions as well as relevant articles. Brief editorial guidelines follow below. In order to have a dynamic and inspiring Bulletin we must act as a worldwide team.
