Development of a psychosocial rehabilitation plan (and whether to create a new psychosocial program). Gradually, within the framework of the course, a description of the psychosocial plan should be made, taking into account the conditions for the development of the plan and the problems and needs of the client. The psychosocial rehabilitation plan should be improved independently. An independent presentation should be prepared, including the main elements of the psychosocial plan, and the opinion should be justified in the presentation. An innovative opinion should be shown in connection with the specifics of psychosocial rehabilitation for the client groups already defined in Latvia, as well as the justification of the need for psychosocial rehabilitation for other target groups. |
