For social workers of the Volga region it is an opportunity to meet colleagues, to share experiences, to learn about new forms of work with disabled people, technologies and best practices working with this group of people and the laws that protect people with disabilities. It will also focus on social workers who work in rehabilitation facilities, complex centers and residential - homes, directly with families, and the role of NGO organizations and families with disabilities - both children and adults.
Volga Federal District has many innovative methods of work in the social sphere. Many of the regions involved participate in various inter-regional and international programs, and as a result have experience, worth disseminating to other regions of Russia and abroad..
Forum of social workers of the Volga region will gather best practice for working with people with disabilities and the best practices of non-governmental organizations of disabled people. Much attention will be paid to social workers working with people with disabilities - issues of training and skills development, prevention of symptoms of professional burnout.
