At   the   core   of   Hugarafl’s  work  stands  the  ideology  of empowerment, that is put into practice through every activity and interaction, either formal  or  informal.  Peer  support and  eCPR  are  some  ofthe  main  toolswe  usefor empowerment.In Mindpower the users and the professionals work on an equal basis, following a recovery model.

 Mindpower is an activity center where users can enjoy several forms of service and facilities,  including  personal  interviews,  group  meetings,  exercise  and  artwork. Members of Mindpower work on recovery by sharing their experiences of living with mental illness.Besides the activities in its center, Hugarafl works to be visible in the community, to erase the stigma against people with mental illnessand to influence the mental health services. This is done through a series of public actions, campaign and events, visibility in the press and social media and educational programmes for high school students and companies.
