ABSTRACT

During the early stages of the Covid-19 crisis, a center in Greece organized a volunteer team for mental care and empowerment. About 300 mental health professionals participated, running systemic Appreciative Inquiry empowerment tele-groups using appreciative tools and creative writing. They shared their dreams for the future in Dreamland, a Facebook group created specifically for them.
