MOTRASUP aims at providing system for modular training to train people with disabilities in providing counselling and advising support to individuals in need.
October 8, 2005 (Press Release) --
MOTRASUP (Modular Training System For Handicapped In Providing Attendant Support) Project (BG/04/B/F/PP-166044) is funded under the EU’s vocational training programme Leonardo da Vinci. The aim of the system for modular training is to train people with disabilities in providing counselling and advising support to individuals in need (individuals with physical or mental disabilities, with damaged senses, in specific health condition or with mental illnesses, bedridden people, elderly, single mothers, former prisoners, abused children, drug addicts, people from ethnic minorities, etc.), to motivate them to achieve their personal goals and accordingly improve their way of life.
The social and work integration of individuals with disabilities is a considerable challenge, requiring the use of untraditional means and approaches. As a matter of fact, this project has been motivated by the need to create training systems, which would help the social adaptation and realisation of individuals with disabilities and encourage them to live independently.
The modular system for training people with disabilities to provide counselling and advising support to other people in similar conditions has been created in response to the growing need of these individuals for social and professional integration, and offers one possible solution to their problem. Attendant support offers procedures and approaches meant to aid individuals, families and small groups of people with specific physical, psychological or social problems. This type of counselling and advising support is carried out by non-professionals. It is based on the assumption that the person in need of counselling and the one helping him are in an equal position. The program will include training in social skills, basic knowledge of the nature of mental disorders caused by different illnesses, self-help techniques, principles of a healthy life and diet, techniques for conducting therapy conversations, relevant legislation, and social protection of individuals in disadvantaged positions.
