Regional Policies and IPS • Regione Emilia-Romagna (DGR 313/09) • Sicily Region (2011) • Rome Province • Some Veneto Departements
IPS in Italy - Opportunities • Users’ dissatisfaction with traditional vocational rehabilitation • Awareness among professionals of more empowering opportunities (self help, supported accomodation, IPS…) • Social welfare cuts, labour market «deregulation» • Interest in evidence based practices (FEP, ACT, Psychoeducation…)
IPS in Italy - Problems • IPS specialist: project vs. program. • What is «team approach»? • Are we bound to instability? • IPS and informal work. • Are we supporting workers exploitation by blackmarket employers? • PseudoIPS: the «we are already doing this» issue. • Ensuring fidelity and reasonable adaptation
Dartmouth-J&J Int’l learning coll. • Good opportunity for: • Linking with international network of experiences • Access to training and research material • Improving training and fidelity locally • Better coordination of local practice • Provide training to other centers/regions • Participating in international research and training activities
