MENTAL HEALTH SPAIN receives the Special Award from Cermi.es, from its president

The award recognizes the trajectory of SALUD MENTAL ESPAÑA, which this year commemorates its 40th anniversary. The delivery ceremony was attended by Luis Cayo Pérez Bueno, president of CERMI, Luis Alonso, manager of CERMI, and Nel González Zapico, president of the Confederation.

The Spanish Committee of Representatives of People with Disabilities (CERMI) has presented SALUD MENTAL ESPAÑA with the Special Prize of the 21st edition of the Cermi.es Awards, on the occasion of the celebration of the 40th anniversary of the Confederation. The award ceremony for these awards, a reference in the disability sector, was held on Wednesday, November 29, taking advantage of the context of the ‘Strategic Conferences 2023’ organized by the Confederation.

The event was attended, representing CERMI, Luis Alonsomanager, and Luis Cayo Pérez Buenopresident. Nel González Zapicopresident of SALUD MENTAL ESPAÑA, was in charge of receiving the award, in the presence of fifty people belonging to the mental health associative movement, including people with their own experience, professionals and family members.

“This award belongs to each of the people who, in all territories, work every day to improve the quality of life of people with mental health problems and defend their rights”, González proclaimed during the event. Furthermore, the president of the Confederation wanted to dedicate a few words of remembrance to “all the people who, unfortunately, are no longer here, but who played a fundamental role within the associative movement in recent decades”.

Under the motto ’40 years for mental health, for rights, for you’, SALUD MENTAL ESPAÑA has commemorated, throughout 2023, the work in favor of the rights of people with mental health problems and their families , which it has developed since its birth in 1983. It has done so through different activities, including the development of a video which makes visible the main advances and challenges of the associative movement in the last four decades, led by several people linked to the entity.

And on that path, which we are still traveling, CERMI has accompanied us. “We have gone hand in hand on issues of great relevance”.

The signing by Spain, in 2008, of the United Nations International Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities; the demand for the paralysis of the Additional Protocol to the Oviedo Convention; or the presentation of the Report ‘Treatments and involuntary admissions in mental health’, in 2023, are some milestones in which the Confederation and CERMI have joined forces.

The Confederation appreciates the recognition, on the occasion of this anniversary, of awards that have a special value for recognizing the initiatives, actions and work of people or institutions that have distinguished themselves most in favor of human rights, community participation, inclusion and the well-being of people with disabilities and their families. The Cermi.es 2023 Awards have been distributed in 14 different categories.
