Date du début: 1 août 2014, Date de fin: 1 janv. 2015 PROJET  TERMINÉ 

The football program consists of clients in psychiatric Council, residents living in clusters from the welfare department in Reykjavik and users of various programs. Two to three workers have organized for a group of 15-20 members to play football in a Gymnasium for disabled people once a week. The origin of the project dates back to November of 2011 , when employees of Hlutverkasetur reached out to employees of a residential cluster about how to get the people more active . The conclusion of these talks where to organize some kind of a sport activity for these people, since one of the employers had experience with football they decided to start playing football once a week. Since then the participants have met once a week all year round and now we want to promote and strengthen the group more . The plan is to go with the 15 -man squad to Glasgow in the fall and meet the football group from Caledonia clubhouse , both to learn about their group and to tell them about us . The aim of the project is to promote health and improve the effectiveness of a group of people who struggle with psychiatric illness / disorder. The fact that employers take part in the football can be very encouraging for users to participate. The fact that this group is open to participants of multiple sources who all have an interest in football increases the possibility to communicate with others. This trip abroad will hopefully strengthen the group further , give them the opportunity to meet others and establish a partnership. When people with the same interest come together they are likely to communicate with each other and are more likely to encourage others to live a healthy lifestyle. Individuals who struggle with psychiatric illnesses are highly isolated and employees are often the only individuals they meet . For them, this is perhaps the only time they go out and to meet and talk with others. This football program has the main aim to reduce stigma / discrimination and to help the individuals participating in the program live a healthier live style.
