Report

In October, the "He Needs You" Foundation sent a medical team to a psychoneurological boarding school in the Kaliningrad region. There are approximately 70 people living there on a permanent basis. Some of them require assistance from the staff, such as bedridden patients or young adults in wheelchairs.

In November and December, an occupational therapist and a fund manager visited the institution again. The occupational therapist conducted a three-day training session for each of the three groups, where knowledge of positioning and mobility is essential. Every day, different employees were trained in the group. This way, the maximum number of staff was trained. The occupational therapist helped to properly position and seat the patients, and provided individual recommendations for each patient regarding proper sitting and lying positions.

Thank you for your assistance in paying for tickets and accommodation for the specialist and the fund's curator!

About the campaign

Help pay for travel to the boarding school for specialists - they will train employees to properly care for people with disabilities!

In the spring, the foundation "He needs you" traveled with a medical team to a psycho-neurological boarding school in the Kaliningrad region. About 70 people live in it permanently. There are also those who cannot do without the help of the staff of the institution – bedridden patients or young adults in wheelchairs.

The foundation's doctors examined the students and gave their recommendations, and conducted initial staff training in caring for people with disabilities.

The institution's management became interested in the training, as ergotherapy not only teaches proper care for people with limited mobility, but also helps caregivers avoid overexertion, as they often need to lift and move heavy adults.

The foundation was approached to provide in-depth training for staff on proper handling, feeding, and positioning.

Help cover the travel and accommodation expenses for the trainer and specialist who will provide the training and help the institution's residents live more comfortably and safely!
