Question

How to increase the partner role for the client in the process of change?

Problem description

The majority of our team members have experience in working in residential settings, and know very well its limits. We are therefore extremely sensitive to the appearance of certain aspects within the functioning of the mobile team, such as: taking over responsibilities of the client within the functioning of the mobile team, the imposition of standards, working in hierarchy within a care unit, psychiatric illness taken as the starting point, a very strong focus on medication, etc

Impact - effect

The expectations of the workers are not always consistent with the realities of working in a mobile team, and by consequence team members are often disillusioned, uncertain

To do

To do: a transparent attitude towards the client, this can be explored for instance by inviting the client at evolution discussions, giving more responsibility to him, loosen the client, make him a partner in the treatment
