OBJECTIVES
The overall objective of the project is to support relatives of people with addictions by providing them with ready-to-use tools and methods. Firstly, the project aims to provide knowledge and proven methods directly to the relatives. Secondly, it aims to support specialists who work with these relatives.
ACTIVITIES
The project is planned for a duration of two years and will include various activities:
-
Development of a Methodological Guide for Organizations – the methodology will serve as a theoretical foundation for the upcoming project activities.
-
Development of a Training Programme for Specialists Working with Relatives – based on the methodological guide, we will create a structured and tested programme for organizations.
-
Development of a Self-Help Toolkit for Relatives of People with Addictions – the aim is to create a guide that helps relatives access support independently, without the direct presence of a specialist.
Transnational meetings are planned in Lithuania, Iceland, and Latvia during the projhect. The kick-off meeting will be organised by the community "Aš esu" in Lithuania.
