In this episode of Meanings of Cohesion we travel to Western Slovenia. 24-hour confinement, hours of restraint, violence, isolation, infantilisation... this is the reality for many people suffering from mental disorders in Slovenia. For some years now, the country has been trying, to an extent, to change the way it deals with mental health. But what are the results? Patients, relatives and carers tell their stories.
Also in this podcast: an interview with Quentin Ariès, editor in chief of Babel International NGO.
The script writer, host and executive producer of Meanings of Cohesion is Alexander Damiano Ricci.
Reportage stories are read by Gail Rego.
The author of the reportage story in this episode is Klara Širovnik.
Meanings of Cohesion is a collaboration between europod and ereb.
The podcast series was produced as part of Youthopia, a European project that cast a light on the results and effects of the EU Cohesion Policy, led by the Assembly of the Regions and Babel International NGO.
