Main achievementsThe training supports participant’s prevention of burn out in a modern approach. It also contributes to consolidation of the personality. The aim of the training is preventing child protection and social work specialists from leaving their profession. After attending the training participants commitment to their career is consolidated and become able to see their work as a self-expression and fulfilment of their personality. After building a connection of confidence during the training -participant’s motivation of choosing their careers is discussed, -information about self-rewarding elements of their work is provided -personal and professional resources are collected -self-defencing methods (protective factors against burning out) are taught -future-building on the peers own experiences is planned Methods of the training: team exercises for developing the student’s personality with professional reflection. The training gives an opportunity to the trainers to select the most suitable method, so that the course should be best adjusted to the target group’s needs. The teacher can decide which solution to choose depending on whether there are more participants in the group who have recently started working as child carers or there are more of those who have already worked on this field for a long time.
