Summary from the conference "Agens, psykisk hälsa och ansvar" [Agency, mental health and responsibility]

Last week, a conference on agency, mental health and responsibility was held at CMH. The presentations at the conference discussed several perspectives on agency. The presenters noted that there is a tendency to idealize agency as a phenomenon, while at the same time, co-determination and a sense of control in different situations are important aspects that affect how we feel. The discussions at the conference were partly about how we as individuals can create, regain and strengthen our agency, both in care relationships and in different life situations.
