The training material has been developed from the very beginning based on the needs of the target groups. We first assessed these needs through questionnaires and, after analyzing the results, created the framework of the material. The training material was filled in with content by the Advisory Teams in the partner countries. 

This means that everything you read in the training material was suggested, written, reviewed, and compiled by the three target groups themselves. It truly contains what people living in long-term care, and those who support them, need in order to live as self-determined a life as possible. 

The training material will consist of 5 modules:

Self-awareness and identity as a person in need of care <br>The concept of peer counseling methods <br>Personal future planning: personal goals, ideas, challenges, and fears; the care system and opportunities in my country
