The main objective of the project addressed public and social private adult education providers and operators in their crucial role in the creation of sustainable and innovative intervention models. By implementing this project, we wanted to create mutual learning opportunities on a transnational level in order to support the capacity building of adult trainers and actors who are directly working with people with mental health problems or severe mental illnesses. As a concrete outcome, No Limit aimed to develop an innovative model of action for the professional integration of people with mental health problems that can be scaled up and replicated in different European contexts.
The COVID-19 pandemic has had a significant impact on the mental health of European citizens, referred to as a "second" or "silent" pandemic. Unemployment and economic insecurity further worsen mental health. Considering this and also the high level of competition in the labor market, public and private services need innovative methods and relationships to meet the increasing social needs, mainly related to support in accessing the labor market and improving the employability of people with mental health problems and/or certified mental illness. By sharing resources and best practices within a collaborative European framework the No Limit project aimed at strengthening the capacity of partners to formulate better solutions for the long-term labor-market inclusion of individuals with mental health problems.
