Abstract

The following text is the theoretical framework of the workshop "Non-psychiatric escorting in crisis: building and implementing a low resource program as achieving the possible" presented by the Observatory for Rights in the Mental Health Field - Metalogos' Day-Event 2021. The paper aims to disconnect the concept of science from academicism and bring it back into the social realm as a natural expression of societies' need for change and well-being.
