SERVICES: ACCESS and
QUALITY - EFFICIENT and CONGRUENT
for people living in extreme poverty and health conditions
‘Persons exist when
their voice is listened and understood’
Dignity and Well-being,
these two keywords, from the 12th SMES
Conference of Rome (2013) continue to inspire our
initiatives:
1)
the collect of 50 profile of people on
the street with conclusive report;
2)
the conference in Lisbon (March 2017),
3)
the Erasmus+ project (2016-19) and now
4)
the project concerning the coherence
and congruence of services, adequate to the
needs .
The first phase
of our study, "Dignity and Well-being" has focused mainly
on the person, that due to several social and health
factors,
has
had to live-in permanent way- on the street,
under extreme conditions of deprivation, neglect,
connected often with mental health problems. The
profiles of over fifty people, in charge of the services
both social and health, were discussed and analyzed by
colleagues in three workshops especially to understand
why despite the different services offered,
a number of these people
(or so it seemed...) preferred to stay on the street
rather than accept the solution proposed by services
.
The second phase of Dignity and Well-being" project,
following basically the same methodology:
a)
At least 50 data collection services
, through a standard protocol
b)
3 workshops for exchanges and inter-vision.
We would like
to propose thorough evaluating congruence between need
and service, the dissemination of efficient
and innovative practices that correspond to needs
expressed or not and more to the main
aim of inclusion and participation.
Very often we
find that the services – especially if excessively
institutionalized - respond essentially to the specific
needs, (emergency
shelter in the winter, canteens, showers, clothing ...)
rather than to the global person, who live daily in
extreme precariousness and abandonment situation.
The risk –
frequently - is to respond to ‘our’ needs : security,
order, clean city, good conscience…, rather than
listening to and
understanding each other, that just as ‘other’
disoriented us his word express verbally or through a
body hurt that should be given
our full attention.
The 2nd
phase or D-&-WB project consists of:
1)
collecting at least 50 profiles of Centers
that offer services to people both in emergency
centers, in day centers, in both the
social and health services.
2)
Inter-vison
in meeting of team, before the drafting of the
protocol
3)
Participation in three workshops (as in North
– East – Central Eu Countries) where will exchange
ideas and proposals about compiled protocols
4)
A
synthetic final report (as for 50 profiles
of persons )
5)
The final event (seminar ?) : opportunity
for underline congruence between evaluated needs
and services offered .
As for the previous study D-&-WB concerning persons,
height partners have contributed to these
research/action, so SMES will try to invite other
organizations to be partner for introduce
together another Erasmus+ project for
the research/action concerning the services. This
proposal will be finalize on Erasmus + project for
presentation and dissemination of good practices
(deadline March 21)
But
– as with the previous study – this proposal of
SMES does not depend on the acceptance or not of
the project by Erasmus Commission Program, but SMES
will request - at the same time - support of
private and foundations for the realization of this
study.
