Supported employment is recognized as the best method of support for people who need it for work and employment in the open labour market.
Supported employment is the paid work of people with disabilities. The goal is to find and adapt meaningful jobs in the community and make sure that people get appropriate education and support in the workplace.
Supported employment advocates the right to work, respecting human dignity and gives the possibility of social and economic inclusion in the community. It is a model of partnership which, besides the person and members of the supported employment team, includes employers, families, guardians and other community services that may be important for the person.
This professional development training enables the acquisition of new skills and knowledge in order to enable people with disabilities to successfully participate in the open labour market.

By definition, needs are energizing states which, if satisfied, lead to health and well-being. Unsatisfied needs lead to pathology and
lack of well-being.
The effect of satisfying the psychological needs on everyday satisfaction is explained through the self-determination theory that a person satisfies different needs through choices. Even though needs and activities are different, it is assumed that gaining experience of competence, autonomy and connection improves the feeling of well-being. The self-determination theory assumes that satisfying basic psychological needs will result with greater subjective well-being, as well as its important component – life satisfaction.
This program provides participants insight in their own psychological needs and ways of satisfying them. Through personal experience you learn about the importance of recognizing and satisfying the needs of people you support.

People with disabilities are sexual and express their sexuality in ways that are as diverse as everyone else. The belief that people with disabilities are not sexual could stem from the idea that they are considered a child or child-like and therefore are excluded from having sexual health rights. All people need affection, love and intimacy, acceptance, and companionship. Accurate and developmentally appropriate sexual health education, which acknowledges and affirms all people’s sexuality, is necessary for a person to learn about self, relationship safety, and responsibility.

Crisis represents a problematic, crucial point connected to the need of making a decision. Situations including psychic crisis can be a consequence of intensive feelings and stress (eg. anxiety, depression, anger,panic, hopelessness), noticeable changes in functioning (eg. neglect of personal hygiene, curious behaviors) or catastrophic life evens (break ups,loss of support or housing, loss of autonomy or parental rights, being victim of violence or natural disasters). This education provides you the insight into ten key values of adequate crisis response, regardless the type (origin) of the crisis, the situation in which support is needed or the person providing support.
Also, taking responsibility and control of your life means to elaborate a clear crisis plan in the period when the person feels good and gives instructions on how to take care of her/him in the moments when she/he does not feel well. The crisis plan is different from all other plans because it will be used by other people. That is the reason why it needs to be clear, understandable and unambiguous.
