Marketing Text:
Both men and women suffer abuse (physical, emotional, sexual, exploited work), and it is necessary to understand the effects of abuse in order to give the best possible support to guidance-seekers wishing to "return to life" or even start a life they never had before
Summary:
There have been a number of successful European projects, still being used by vocational guidance counsellors, on target groups with labour market difficulties. These include migrants, refugees, older and younger people, women, low-paid workers and, more generally, people at risk of social exclusion. There is, however, a very large group that cross-cuts all social groups: victims of abuse, both men and women, whether domestic, sexual or labour market exploitation.
Early research, confirmed by later work, found that “learned helplessness” is experienced by up to two-thirds of victims, leading to fatalism, lack of confidence, self-esteem and motivation. For many who have escaped the abusive situation, it is necessary to (re)enter the mainstream labour market, both for financial and social reasons; but learned helplessness is a powerful barrier. This is difficult not only for the individual but for vocational guidance services attempting to assist them into education, training and work.
We intend, therefore, as an expert group, to produce training materials, organised into a
Curriculum, for vocational guidance counsellors. Materials will include case studies, biographies, links, academic articles, and specialised tools and methods for guiding this target group. All will be freely available on the project web site, and a Good Practice Guide will be published in all the project languages.
Through our dissemination and exploitation strategies, we shall reach a large number of guidance services, practitioners, experts, networks and umbrella organisations, not only in the partner countries but throughout Europe, through the Euroguidance Network, our other transnational activities and the involvement of multipliers from non-partner countries at the
final conference. From our experience of previous guidance projects, whose sites are still
heavily visited, we are confident that this project will have a lasting impact.
Description:
The aims of the project are to develop training, supported by a wide range of materials, for new or existing vocational guidance counsellors so that they know how to recognise and deal with the problems of adult clients with a history of abuse that hinders them from becoming self -activated, and understand the importance of networks of practitioners from different fields.
The training course, which will be freely available online until at least 2019, will be written by
experts and its development will be supported and validated by strategic groups in each country consisting of experts in both guidance and related fields, such as health, social work,
police, education and victim support groups. The course will be widely disseminated through
strategic networks, locally, nationally and throughout Europe. It will be incorporated into the
practice of partners who carry out vocational training and guidance.
One objective is that students of the course will be able to recognise that clients who present with obvious handicaps in terms of gender, age, and ethnicity and so on may also carry invisible handicaps engendered by former abuse – and that clients who present with no obvious handicaps but are very difficult to counsel and to support in becoming self-activated may well
be victims of abuse. They will learn to recognise the symptoms and to use appropriate methods to mitigate their effect so that such clients are able to become self-activating and make appropriate career decisions
