PROSPECT - Developing and promoting vocational training and education to open up and support new perspectives for social integration and employment for people with mental health problems and their family-carers

PROSPECT will develop and promote vocational training and education, drawing upon best practice, for persons with mental health problems, their family-carers and social & health professionals. The training will seek to open up new perspectives for the social integration and employment of persons with mental health problems and their family-carers, and to better inform professionals of these new approaches.A series of training packages will be developed covering areas such as; coping and interaction skills, counselling on access to education, traineeships and work perspectives (including ICT skills), guidelines for trainers and the use of evaluation tools. Packages will then be validated, tested and reviewed across the partner countries through national steering groups and through work with key stakeholders. Beyond initial testing, the packages will be modified and translated into a range of partner languages for use across the test countries.Beyond this, the project will undergo 'training of trainers' to establish three initial groups of trained 'junior trainers' (individuals with mental health problems, family carers and social & health professionals) able to continue in the promotion and delivery of the developed training packages and methodologies.To ensure sustainability of the achievements and results of the project a European Network and Centre of Excellence will be established in addition to a dedicated website able to provide ongoing support (to project groups, target organisations and trainers) and remote tutoring/distance learning (for target beneficiaries).The results of the project will be promoted across the existing partner networks, in each country, and will be further presented through a series of seminars and a final project symposium to external stakeholders and key policy makers across Europe.
