In the return after summer break, the C.O.P.E. project held a training and capacity building session on the IPS model – Individual Placement Support, a methodology to support the professional placement of people with mental disorders.
The principles and methods of the IPS, phases of intervention, application in the field, fidelity and ways of integration with the Mental Health Centre team were discussed with a group of more than 40 participants led by Alessandro Favaron supported by Giovanna Filippi – COGES don Lorenzo Milani Società Cooperativa Sociale. The group work on cases and plenary discussion that followed was very participative and points out for implementation pathways both in Portugal and Italy.
