CARe Model
CARe Europe is initiating a new train-the-trainer programme in the CARe Model. This model contains a practical way of supporting persons with psychosocial vulnerability in their recovery process, to live as full citizens in the community.
The programme aims at creating more training and coaching capacity in a number of countries by educating and supporting new CARe Trainers who will work with us in the future.
The programme will take 3 semesters. In the first semester, starting February 2015, the student will follow an e-learning programme about the principles, theory and working methods of the CARe model. This semester will be ended with a face to face training session and seminar in Prague, Czech Republic in June 2015.
The second semester includes practice and personal experience between September and December 2015. During this semester, the student will apply the knowledge in his own country, working with clients and professionals. Supervision is provided through Skype and e-mail. In the third semester (February-June 2016), the student will design and deliver a training programme to a group of people, under supervision of one of the CARe trainers.
The costs of this programme are Euro 2.000 per person that can be paid in three different modes. In case the candidate or his employer is not able to pay the full amount, subsidy can be given from the CARe Europe Education Programme and you can also apply for travel and accommodation costs for our face-to-face Seminar in Prague. For the details see our CARe Europe Scholarship programme.
Candidates should meet the following criteria:
* Having at least three years of professional and/or personal experience in the field of mental health care, addiction care or care for the homeless.
* Having a strong motivation to work on the basis of the principles of recovery and social inclusion
* Having experience as a trainer, coach or leader of services
* Having a strong motivation to become a trainer/coach in the CARe Model
* Being willing after finishing the programme, to act as a certified CARe Trainer in the own country or other countries in the CARe Europe network for at least three years.
Candidates should write a letter of motivation and send this, together with a recommendation by your country representative to Dirk den Hollander (Head of Training CARe Model), preferably before 25th January 2015 (care@thecareeurope.com).

This publication is a result of an international research project which took place from 2012-2014. Among the participators were four universities, number of service providers, NGOs and people with psychiatric and learning disabilities from Amersfoort and Maastricht in the Netherlands, Budapest in Hungary and Tallinn in Estonia.
📷
The aim of the project was to explore the wishes and needs of persons with psychiatric or learning difficulties with regard to community participation, and how services could be (more) supportive in order to meet these needs. We also looked at local policies, especially from the perspective of the UN Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities (CRPD).
From the research we learn that regardless of the country where people live, persons with disabilities have similar struggles to cope with vulnerability and deprivation. They also share the same desires as any other human being: the wish to live a good and valued life, to have meaningful activities and to belong to a social community.
The stories in this book were selected from the interviews which were conducted by researchers during the project. The portraits illustrate experiences of illness, disability and recovery. They also reflect experiences of using social- and mental health services, exclusion and inclusion. By reading these stories we see, how multifaceted life can be, and what are the challenges towards the real participation in community. Many thanks to Heli, Anneli, Oliver, Janine, Jan Cees, Gyula and Judit for sharing their stories!
