Report on Training program for Group Home Managers
Report period - July, August and September, 2018
Project Summary:
Vidya Sagar, is a 33 years old organization working with people with disabilities. Given the fact that PwDs want autonomy in where and how to live and that they do not want to be shut away in institutions, we have designed a training program to train the primary stake holders as group home managers (GHM) & quality control monitors. This will be an intensive 18 month course for 10 members starting January 2019 including empowerment strategies through experiential learning. Once the training is over, the GHM’s will manage the then newly set up Resource Center for Independent / Assisted Living.
Activities:
Couple of workshop was conducted as part of the pilot study of the Project. The project will start from January 2019.
Workshop on Leadership for alumini members of Vidya Sagar was conducted in the month of May. Ms. Poonam Natarajan conducted the workshop for group of twelve alumini members. This two day leadership training is an attempt to engage with each other, to find their strengths and to develop their skills in leadership which will help to take the independent living movement further.
The workshop is a first attempt to identify leaders for training, who will in future manage and monitor group homes and be frontline workers and leaders in the independent living movement.
Workshop on Trust formation was conducted in the month of August. It was conducted by Mrs Uma Bhagat, the lawyer, specialist in Trust formation. The points discussed clearly helped the parents of person with adult disability to understand the nuances and benefits of Trust formation.
