Duration of project1.6.2021–30.5.2023

To create a manual on methods that promote the social workers wellbeing at work and to organize a training for teachers, practitioners and students.

Goal

Research shows that social workers experience stress and fatigue in their work. Social work is demanding work with a lot of
responsibility, lots of clients and often scarce resources. This provokes the
need for coping and resilience. The main aim of the project is to develop a comprehensive, easy to use manual for social workers on relaxation and concentration techniques. The manual is
planned to contain techniques that would be efficient while would not take a long time to use, enabling
recovery already during the work day. Partners of the project are Higher Education Institutions from
Lithuania, Latvia and Finland and volunteering organization.   There will be an international training for teachers, practitioners and students of the selected wellbeing methods.
