Distress, feelings and work of ATC users in a crisis situation during the epidemic of covid-19

Teoretični uvod govori o nastanku in posledicah epidemije covida-19, življenju uporabnikov v Varstveno delovnem centru, kritičnem pregledu nastajanja in delovanja Varstveno delovnih centrov ter metodah socialnega dela, ki jih uporabljamo pri delu z uporabniki. V nalogi sem se usmerila v raziskovanje njihovega sveta in življenja tudi zunaj okvirjev Varstveno delovnega centra in s pomočjo metode osebnega načrtovanja uporabnikov ugotovila, kako poteka njihovo življenje, s kakšnimi težavami, stisko in občutki so se srečevali v času izolacije in epidemije covida-19. Želela sem prikazati, da uporabniki niso le uporabniki storitve Varstveno delovnega centra, ampak da aktivno sodelujejo pri izvajanju samega procesa dela in življenja v programu. Poudarek je na njihovi pravici izbire želja, potreb, jasnega izražanja svojega mnenja in stališč. S tem pa sem želela prispevati k večji avtonomiji uporabnikov, k zmanjšanju segregacije in delnega socialnega izključevanja uporabnikov.The theoretical introduction discusses the origin and consequences of the covid-19 epidemic, the life of users in ATC (adult training centres), a critical review of the formation and operation of adult training centres and the methods of social work that we use when working with users. In the thesis itself, I focused on exploring their world and life outside the adult training centres and using the method of personal planning of users to find out how their lives are going, what problems, hardships and feelings they encountered during the isolation and epidemic of covid-19. I wanted to show that users are not just users of the adult training centres service, but that they actively participate in the implementation of the process of working and living in the programme. The emphasis is on their right to choose, their desires, needs, clearly express their opinions and viewsby doing so, I wanted to contribute to greater user autonomy, to reducing segregation and partial social exclusion of users
