New green clubs have been established in "Social Care Homes for the Mentally Ill". Our experience is that this clubs are good starts for local user only activities in institutions. (Staff are not always happy with "empowerment" and "advocay" groups, being afraid of hostility etc.) On the other hand, they are much more ready to accept a user only group if they do "neutral" activities like environmental protection. At the same time, hospitalised members can learn a lot about organising and running groups, solving personal conflicts on their own.
