The Practice House: a drop-in for people with mental and/or socio-emotional vulnerability
Ixta Noa offers walk-in facilities in Practice Houses and in regional municipalities. These drop-in facilities are a meeting place and accessible to anyone struggling with mental or socio-emotional vulnerability and to those around them. In our walk-in centres, coffee and tea are ready and served by experience expert volunteers and staff. At Ixta Noa, we work with expertise by experience: all our volunteers and staff have experienced a psychological 'adventure' themselves and are trained to support others from their own experience of vulnerability and recovery.
Our working method focuses on creating a context in which everyone matters, everyone participates and everyone contributes to meaning and recovery. We organise various recovery-supporting activities, such as theme meetings, creative activities and self-help or peer groups. We offer lunch in most Practice Houses, which someone can participate in when it suits someone's goals. There is also room for relaxation and connecting by having conversations and joining in activities such as game afternoons, walks, theme meetings or creative activities. At Ixta Noa, recognition and acknowledgement can be found through conversations with experts by experience and with other participants. This can help a participant gain insight into the recovery process and process what he or she has been through, and give it a place. When someone is ready, the volunteers work with them on the road to (further) recovery.
A participant can walk in without any obligation and come for a taste of the atmosphere first, alone or together with someone from the network. If someone feels more comfortable being expected, an appointment can also be made in advance. Our support is free of charge and no referral or indication is needed.
Particulars:
Participants can drop by a few times without obligation to sample the atmosphere. If a participant decides to visit more often, we ask that he or she register via the website and we schedule an introductory meeting.
