Description

Description (LV):

Dienvidlatvijā un Ziemeļlietuvā pastāv kopīgas sociālekonomiskās problēmas, nabadzība, bezdarbs, kas izraisa sociālo izslēgšanu un rezultātā augstu stresa līmeni, kā dēļ rodas grūtības saistībā ar psihosociālajo funkcionēšanu, sociālo iekļaušanos un iesaistīšanos ekonomiskajā, sociālajā, politiskajā un kultūras dzīvē. Turklāt pārrobežu reģionos psiholoģiskais un sociālais atbalsts ir grūti pieejams, ir vāji attīstīts sociālo pakalpojumu atbalsta saturs un to pieejamība neaizsargātām personām. Paredzētās projekta aktivitātes ir vērstas uz sociālo pakalpojumu izveidi un to efektivitāti sociāli izslēgtiem pusaudžiem, jauniešiem. Projekta ietvaros Dienvidlatvijā un Ziemeļlietuvā tiks novērtēta pusaudžu un jauniešu sociālā iekļaušanās, stresa intensitāte, pielietotās stresa pārvarēšanas stratēģijas. Izstrādātā metodika, pielietojot multisensorās istabas, sociālās, psiholoģiskās palīdzības metodes (balstoties uz pašregulāciju, informētības veicināšanu, refleksiju, emociju līdzsvarošanu), aktivizēs personīgos resursus mērķgrupas personām tālākai integrācijai mainīgajā kultūrsociālajā vidē. Izstrādātās stresa pārvarēšanas metodoloģijas ieviešana var tikt nodota un izplatīta citās valstīs un reģionos, kā arī tikt iekļauta sociālo pakalpojumu katalogā. Uzkrātā pieredze un metodoloģija tiks izmantota topošo sociālo strādnieku sagatavošanā augstākās izglītības iestādēs abās valstīs un pašreizējo speciālistu kvalifikācijas procesā. Projektā plānotās inovācijas ir jaunums visās Baltijas valstīs un tiek paredzēts, ka šīs sociālās iekļaušanas, pozitīvas stresa pārvarēšanas metodes, izmantojamas sociālo pakalpojumu sfērā, ir efektīvas un kvalitatīvas lietošanai praksē, ņemot vērā ekonomiskos ieguldījumus. Pārrobežu augstākās izglītības iestādes papildina viena otru un rada pievienoto vērtību, apvienojot pieredzi, zināšanas, profesionalitāti, un paplašina sociāli psiholoģisko pakalpojumu klāstu sociālo pakalpojumu centros abos reģionos.

Description (LT):

Pietų Latvijoje ir Šiaurės Lietuvoje egzistuoja bendri socialiniai – ekonominiai iššūkiai, t.y. skurdas, nedarbas, lemiantys socialinę atskirtį, kuri yra aušto streso lygio pasekmė. Pastarasis lemia psichosocialinio asmenų funkcionavimo sunkumus, socialinės inkliuzijos ir dalyvavimo ekonominiame, socialiniame, politiniame ir kultūriniame gyvenime sunkumus. Be to, Programos zonos regionai susiduria su psichologinės – socialinės pagalbos prieinamumo ir paramos turinio asmenims, esantiems socialinės rizikos situacijose, iššūkiais. Siūlomo projekto veiklos yra nukreiptos į efektyvių socialinių paslaugų socialinės rizikos grupėje esantiems vaikams ir jaunuoliams, kūrimą. Projekto metu bus nustatytas socialinės inkliuzijos, streso intensyvumo ir jo įveikos strategijų naudojimas tarp socialinės rizikos grupėje esančių asmenų Š. Lietuvoje ir P. Latvijoje. Tada, pasitelkiant multi-sensorinių kambarių įrangą, bus kuriami socialinės, psichologinės pagalbos metodai (pagrįsti savireguliacijos, refleksijos, emocijų balanso tyrimais), padėsiantys aktyvuoti socialinės rizikos grupėje esančių asmenų vidinius resursus siekiant tolimesnės sėkmingos integracijos kintančioje socialinėje, kultūrinėje aplinkoje. Sukurta streso įveikos metodika gali būti laisvai adaptuota ir pritaikyta kitose šalies savivaldybių socialinių paslaugų institucijose bei įtraukta į socialinių paslaugų katalogą. Projekto patirtis ir metodologija bus naudojama abiejų šalių aukštųjų mokyklų būsimų socialinių darbuotojų rengime ir kvalifikacijos kėlime esamiems specialistams. Inovacijos, sukurtos projekte, yra naujovė Baltijos šalyse - socialinės inkliuzijos, pozityvaus streso įveikos metodai yra sąlyginai nedaug ekonominių investicijų reikalaujantis produktas, galimas diegti socialinių paslaugų tarnybų praktikoje. Pasienio regiono aukštųjų mokyklų bendradarbiavimas kuria pridėtinę vertę, bendrą praktiką ir žinias, taip išplečiant tarnybose socialinių psichologinių paslaugų kiekį ir kokybę abiejuose regionuose.
