David Calvo, the Councilor for Social Services of the Plasencia City Council, has provided information on training courses aimed at Social Services staff.
The council is committed to the continuous training of municipal professionals. Therefore, this year, talks and training courses will be organized for area workers to enhance their skills.
Training activities will be spread throughout the year, with one or two sessions per month lasting approximately two hours each. The first training session took place on February 20, focusing on Alzheimer’s disease, its progression, symptoms, and care. The second session will be held on March 20, addressing the emotional impact on caregivers and self-care strategies.
Additionally, an informational session on foster care will be held on March 28 in collaboration with the Extremadura Regional Government to address queries regarding the process and available support for foster families.
Training on diversity, provided by the Triángulo Foundation, focusing on psychosocial and healthcare for LGTBI individuals, is also planned. Courses on mental health, anxiety, and suicide prevention will be conducted to equip technicians with tools to handle such cases appropriately.
