Description
People with disabilities in Romania are not adequately served by social services and do not have the essential integrated support for equal treatment in the context of human rights. Also, the community has preconceptions and attitudes that do not respect these principles. In addition, the functioning of the support system provided by public and private entities for this target group is not unitary and in some cases it is inefficient.
The project’s main objective is to support the principles of human rights and equal treatment, especially for people with disabilities, by providing integrated social and occupational therapy services, therapeutic and educational physical therapy services, occupational therapy and vocational counseling, psychological counseling and support group, training for care and recovery provided by a medical professional, as well as an improvement on the intervention methods in collaboration with institutional partners and changes towards a positive attitude through information and education campaigns. The necessity of the project lies in needs of the target group considered, the current capacity being insufficient for the existing demand. The expected results of the project are the construction of a building for the counseling center, the provision of 5 social and basic services for 30 persons with disabilities and 50 of their caregivers, the development of 12 sustainable partnerships, 5 information campaigns on human rights addressed to 500 people and the organizational development of the association, through the implementation of an efficient management procedure and a fundraising campaign.
