Technical Conference “From supporting needs to supporting lives: Case management in long-term care”

  Date:
 Type: Conference

On Human Rights Day, we remind ourselves that care is a collective responsibility, and we do so at an event organised by the Official College of Social Work of Asturias, in collaboration with CECOEC through the Oviedo Chamber of Commerce.

Community social work, the promotion of networks and collaboration between services and systems are essential to address challenges and support meaningful lives for people throughout their life course. It is necessary to recover methodologies that promote person-centred work and move towards personalised approaches.
