Knowledge transfer activities - In Hand – pratical guide
Workshop
The practice guide In Hands was conceived to expand the ethical reflection of professionals that intervene with mistreated older adults.
To do so, In Hands proposes three intervention scenarios for a mistreatment situation:
- The interruption of the follow-up
- Accompaniment
- Intervention aiming to ensure more protection
For each scenarios, the guide presents the values at stake, lists potential practice and highlights the psychosocial and ethical issues presented in the context of mistreatment.
Objectives of the workshop
The training workshop from the guide In Hands, proposes four learning objectives that are all linked:
- Brush up you knowledge on mistreatment of older adults at the provincial and international level
- Develop on the ethical and psychosocial issues linked to the intervention in a context of mistreatment
- Accompany the participants in an intervention that links ethical reflexivity and reasoning before, during and after the action
- Enable the participants to utilize the practice guide In Hands
