Description
Training-action program for social workers from municipalities and NGOs.
“All human beings are born free and equal in dignity and rights” (Universal Declaration of Human Rights, Article 1, 1948)
In the last years the person-centered approach has been consolidated and social workers use it for their interventions. Today we know that it is not so much about putting the person in the center and social workers making decisions on behalf of that person, based on his/her will and rights, but about offering the support the person needs to be able to make his/her own decisions.
The European Model of Self-directed Support seeks to guarantee and preserve this approach: to support and escort the people who approach the Social Services in taking decisions so, at every moment, they have the possibility of choosing and controlling how the action or support plan is organized to achieve the results agreed with the professionals, based on the person will and rights.
Recipients
Social workers of municipalities or third sector organisations.
Goal
To introduce the approach of Self-directed Support in the care of users of Social Services of public institutions and the third sector, considering the different situations and variants of profiles that social workers must attend.
Format and duration
Online, through the Zoom platform. Editions in spanish and in catalan. The course consists of 24,5 hours divided into 6 theorical workshops and 5 practical sessions.
