The Center for Mental Health Care Development (www.cmhcd.cz) succeeded in the first year of the CARe Summer School in the amazing inspiring environment of the historic rectory in Ledce in The Czech Republic (www.ledovec.cz).
We have planned, meditated, learned and worked together, drove off the storm, brainstormed, looked for answers and found questions, met with CARe promoters Dirk den Hollander and Eric Albers, inspired and strengthened each other, rang church bells, sang, made a fire and laughed a lot together.
And that is how we established the tradition.
We will be happy to welcome you in a year at the next CARe Summer School. So write in your diary 14.7. - 16.7.2022 again in Ledce!
