The program\u2019s roots go back to autumn 2015, when preparations began under the mentorship of the Finnish Central Association for Mental Health. Today, the training starts in January and ends with an autumn camp in October \u2013 this year marked the graduation of the tenth class, and the group for 2026 has already been interviewed.<\/p>\n\n\n<style>.kb-row-layout-id48125_b4a721-00 > .kt-row-column-wrap{align-content:start;}:where(.kb-row-layout-id48125_b4a721-00 > .kt-row-column-wrap) > .wp-block-kadence-column{justify-content:start;}.kb-row-layout-id48125_b4a721-00 > .kt-row-column-wrap{column-gap:var(--global-kb-gap-md, 2rem);row-gap:var(--global-kb-gap-md, 2rem);padding-top:var(--global-kb-spacing-sm, 1.5rem);padding-bottom:var(--global-kb-spacing-sm, 1.5rem);grid-template-columns:minmax(0, calc(65% - ((var(--global-kb-gap-md, 2rem) * 1 )\/2)))minmax(0, calc(35% - ((var(--global-kb-gap-md, 2rem) * 1 )\/2)));}.kb-row-layout-id48125_b4a721-00 > .kt-row-layout-overlay{opacity:0.30;}@media all and (max-width: 1024px){.kb-row-layout-id48125_b4a721-00 > .kt-row-column-wrap{grid-template-columns:repeat(2, minmax(0, 1fr));}}@media all and (max-width: 767px){.kb-row-layout-id48125_b4a721-00 > .kt-row-column-wrap{grid-template-columns:minmax(0, 1fr);}}<\/style><div class=\"kb-row-layout-wrap kb-row-layout-id48125_b4a721-00 alignnone wp-block-kadence-rowlayout\"><div class=\"kt-row-column-wrap kt-has-2-columns kt-row-layout-equal kt-tab-layout-inherit kt-mobile-layout-row kt-row-valign-top\">\n<style>.kadence-column48125_3706e0-26 > .kt-inside-inner-col,.kadence-column48125_3706e0-26 > .kt-inside-inner-col:before{border-top-left-radius:0px;border-top-right-radius:0px;border-bottom-right-radius:0px;border-bottom-left-radius:0px;}.kadence-column48125_3706e0-26 > .kt-inside-inner-col{column-gap:var(--global-kb-gap-sm, 1rem);}.kadence-column48125_3706e0-26 > .kt-inside-inner-col{flex-direction:column;}.kadence-column48125_3706e0-26 > .kt-inside-inner-col > .aligncenter{width:100%;}.kadence-column48125_3706e0-26 > .kt-inside-inner-col:before{opacity:0.3;}.kadence-column48125_3706e0-26{position:relative;}@media all and (max-width: 1024px){.kadence-column48125_3706e0-26 > .kt-inside-inner-col{flex-direction:column;justify-content:center;}}@media all and (max-width: 767px){.kadence-column48125_3706e0-26 > .kt-inside-inner-col{flex-direction:column;justify-content:center;}}<\/style>\n<div class=\"wp-block-kadence-column kadence-column48125_3706e0-26\"><div class=\"kt-inside-inner-col\">\n<p>The training is free of charge and open to applicants from outside Helsinki as well. The autumn camp is not just a closing event but part of continuous learning: during seminar days and workshops, participants deepen their knowledge and share experiences also with graduates from earlier years.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Over time, the program has developed into a modular structure, with content shaped by feedback and changes in the field.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Learning, Encounters, and Courage<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Three themes were repeated in the experiences shared by those who spoke at the celebration: making sense of one\u2019s own life, meeting people, and finding the courage to take part. Susu says she joined the training initially for herself \u2013 to process difficult experiences and to be able to support others, especially mothers living with bipolar disorder:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size\">\u201cIt would have made things easier if, while I was in the ward, someone with the same experience had come to tell me that you can get through this.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p>Pia describes how quitting smoking sparked a desire to help others, and during the training \u201cdoors opened in every direction\u201d: even though some of the content was familiar, each training day brought something new. Martin sums up his insight as encouragement for others:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size\">\u201cHow do you know it\u2019s not for you if you don\u2019t try?\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p>The encounters proved to be the most meaningful: dozens of personal stories, each different, yet united by a shared thread of hope. As Susu puts it:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size\">\u201cI don\u2019t know a single \u2018normal\u2019 person \u2013 only different ones.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p>Pia says she gained the most from being able to listen and sometimes offer practical advice. Martin reminds that the training also requires emotional balance: writing one\u2019s own story and hearing others\u2019 can be touching, but the group\u2019s support carries you through. Many emphasized the intertwined paths of mental health and substance abuse work \u2013 they often go hand in hand, and that\u2019s why it\u2019s important for the training to cover both.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"alignright size-large is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"768\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/niemikoti.fi\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/aaaIMG_7741-768x1024.jpg\" alt=\"Nainen hymyilee pit\u00e4en k\u00e4dess\u00e4\u00e4n paperia, jossa on onnittelulaulu Minnalle, taustalla n\u00e4kyy muita ihmisi\u00e4.\" class=\"wp-image-48006\" style=\"width:304px;height:auto\" srcset=\"https:\/\/niemikoti.fi\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/aaaIMG_7741-768x1024.jpg 768w, https:\/\/niemikoti.fi\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/aaaIMG_7741-225x300.jpg 225w, https:\/\/niemikoti.fi\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/aaaIMG_7741-1152x1536.jpg 1152w, https:\/\/niemikoti.fi\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/aaaIMG_7741-1536x2048.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/niemikoti.fi\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/aaaIMG_7741-1320x1760.jpg 1320w, https:\/\/niemikoti.fi\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/aaaIMG_7741-scaled.jpg 1920w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 768px) 100vw, 768px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p>This year, seven students graduated, and their certificates were handed out in a festive ceremony at the camp.
