In the GA education in the period of 16 years mental health professionals employed in mental health services were involved as well as other care employees as General Practitioners, Family physicians, pediatricians, gynecologists and neurosurgeons, psychologists and special educators.

In this way a new room for mutual exchanges of experiences and establishing of cooperation was created.
