Resilience in the Face of Mental Illness: Analysis of the Social Trajectories and Exclusion Mechanisms of Post-Psychiatric Patients in Bingerville

This study examines the configurations of psychosocial resilience developed by former psychiatric patients in Bingerville, within a context marked by intense post-hospitalization stigma. Drawing on a qualitative methodology (including interviews, participant observation, and document analysis), it highlights how these individuals deploy relational and symbolic strategies to resist exclusion. The absence of integrated public policies underscores the pressing need for intersectoral mechanisms that promote their social recognition, autonomy, and effective reintegration into local communities.
