As part of the HEARTS project, the training of experts for working in the sensory room was held – the professional staff of the JU Dom zdravlja with the Žepče inpatient unit participated.
As part of the HEARTS project – Healthcare Equity and Access for Resilient Targeted Support, which is implemented through the cross-border cooperation program Interreg IPA Croatia – Bosnia and Herzegovina – Montenegro 2021 – 2027, in Vinkovci, in the premises of the Center for the provision of services in the community of Vukovar-Srijem County, a five-day training for work in the sensory room was held. The education was attended by employees of the Žepče Health Center, members of the project team, and professional staff who work with children with developmental disabilities.
The training brought together experts from the project’s partner institutions and focused on the application of sensory therapy in working with children and adults who have difficulties in sensory integration, as well as on strategies for the successful regulation of challenging behaviors. The theoretical part of the training was based on modern approaches to sensory intelligence, while the practical part allowed participants to acquire specific skills in using equipment and methods in working with users through real-life situations and examples.
The training took place in the premises of the Center for the provision of services in the VSŽ community in Vinkovci, where, in addition to the training, the professional staff had the opportunity to exchange experiences and good practices with experts from Croatia and Montenegro. This education represents an important step towards strengthening the capacity of experts in the cross-border area, but also towards creating more accessible and inclusive services for vulnerable groups. The HEARTS project is aimed at reducing inequality in access to health and social services, and investments in education and infrastructure like this sensory room are a concrete example of the sustainable changes that the project brings.
