Workshop: What is the Yucel method “building on recovery” - Marlie van de Berg

​

​

Marlie has been working as a psychiatric nurse, as a social worker and as a project leader of a team of people with lived experiences in an organization in Limburg. She has received training in strengths-based approach, the Yucelmethod, Photovoice, Peer support, Shared reading and more.

​

​Annotation of the workshop:  What is the Yucel method “building on recovery” 

The method aims to help people identify and solve their own problems. The method rests on three pillars. The first pillar is an inventory of I, family, eco forces. The second pillar is building a spatial arrangement with coloured blocks. This arrangement represents the current or future situation of the client. The third pillar is talking and thinking about the own life situation, the problems, and the supporting factors in life on the basis of this set-up. 

 

The method assumes that people themselves are in control of their lives and of the support they receive when overcoming problems. Own power, family and their immediate environment seek solutions in the first instance. Expert help and support have a serving, supporting role in this. 

 

Goals of this workshop: You will experience how the Yucel method can be applied. This means: from the attitude of a committed (but temporary) supporter, focused on the individual’s own strength and system, you can work with the blocks from the block box.  

Learn to tell your story by making visual arrangements. 

Working in a strength-oriented way: having insight into the fact that people and families have a lot of their own power that becomes visible during the guidance of the people.

We have conducted CARe trainings for 3 years already and in 2022-2023 we will continue with our own trainers.

ICF is a framework for describing and organising information about functioning abilities of the person and it provides a conceptual basis as well as standard language for different specialists and statistics. ICF and CARe are like two sides of the same coin, from our experiences both are necessary and complement each other. And now, 2022, we are taking big steps towards it and will be very happy to share our developments with you.

Presentation/workshop: “No one can stand in front of the pickle, behind the pickle, or we won't be CARe”- Ludmila Horynová, Juraj Marendiak, Jana Pluhaříková Pomajzlová

​

​

​

Ludmila Horynová. I have worked in community services for people with lived experience of mental illness since 2001. In the course of my practice I have come across the CARe model which I found very appealing, one might say enthusiastic. It is very inspiring to me as it allows clients, as well as staff, to find opportunities and space to pursue their wishes and make sense of their actions. And I enjoy that very much. That's why I was also at the origin of the idea to bring this approach to our organization, BONA o.p.s., and to implement the project that brought CARe into the organization over the past two years.

He currently works as a Peer consultant as well as a Peer lecturer in The Center for Mental Health Care Development in Prague.Working as a Peer is a dream come true and a great satisfaction for Zdeněk, since he sees it as a way of making all the hardships in his life mean so much, now that it can be useful to others.Shortly after Zdeněk started working as a Peer consultant, he came across a book about the CARe model, and when he found out that his vision of how to provide mental health care and support for others fully aligns with this model, it was incredibly validating and encouraging. CARe's principles, constant development, and overall direction focused on the person, all domains of their life, and their recovery is a perfect fit for Zdeněk, and so he is very happy and honored to be a part of The CARe Network.
