Training designed to turn theory into action
Assess the risks
Identify biological, physical and human risks, select personal protective equipment and prepare the intervention.
Build a method
Organise the stages, communicate with those involved and prevent relapse while preserving dignity.
Learning to look beyond the home
The training connects professional techniques with the human context. It helps you understand self-neglect and complex housing situations, prepare an assessment and adopt a respectful approach without reducing someone to the condition of their home.
A course that follows the stages of fieldwork
Understand, assess, make safe, intervene, support and prevent relapse: this sequence guides the learning. It covers biological and physical risks, protection, site organisation, relationships with relatives and partners, and the boundaries to set.
