During June, the pilot training program of the augMENTOR project was successfully conducted for the IASIS NGO Youth Center, Connect Athens team using the Moodle platform. This program included both theoretical components and experiential activities to apply the knowledge gained through the training. 💻✨ It was an incredibly valuable and important experience for the participants. They mentioned that it helped them gain new knowledge, expand their existing skills, and equip them with essential tools to apply in their everyday activities. 🛠️💪 Stay tuned for more updates on our activities! 📢 #augMENTOR #AI #Education

Recently, as part of the augMENTOR program and in collaboration with IASIS NGO, a training session was conducted for Mental Health Professionals in mental health facilities across Northern Greece 🇬🇷. The training was specifically tailored to meet the needs of these professionals, providing them with both theoretical knowledge and practical exercises to enhance their day-to-day interactions with beneficiaries ⏫. Participants engaged in a variety of activities, including quizzes, to deepen their understanding and application of the following key areas: Communication Skills 🗣️ Time Management ⏰ Diversity and Inclusion 🫂 Problem-Solving Techniques 👩💻 This training phase not only equipped them with essential tools to better manage their demanding roles but also empowered them to create a more inclusive and supportive environment for their mental health beneficiaries. #augMENTOR #Innovation #Collaboration #Teamwork

The augMENTOR project continues its pre-pilot sessions, dynamically in IASIS NGO mental health services ✔️ The professionals working in our context are constantly being trained in the following subject areas✨: -Communication skills -Time management -Inclusion and integration -Conflict Management 🙆♂️The subject areas presented above are studied and applied daily in the practices of professionals in our context. 📝The appropriate way of communicating needs, the recognition of verbal and non-verbal signals, the distinction of important-necessary-insignificant tasks, the inclusion and integration of marginalized groups, as well as choosing the appropriate way of resolving conflicts are key points that are needed in our daily lives. 🧠Let's recall similar cases we encounter in our lives, which require the above skills, and consider what we could have done differently to improve the outcome in a similar next case!
