MENTAP's core believe is that the psychological well-being is an important aspect for a carer in order to be able to perform their work to the highest quality (caring for people with disabilities, older people, etc.). One's psychological well-being is based on the individual's awareness of purpose and
meaning of life, the feeling for meaningful connections with other people, the awareness of self-determination and control over life, the reflections of the past and the future and the openness to own self experience, values, meanings and perspectives. Carers need assistance in this, especially as
they are prone to lack of mental well-being due to the hardships they face in their care work.
Past studies (see Need analysis attached in Annex) have highlighted this mental aspect of carers, and MENTAP wants to address this by developing a dedicated curriculum, aligned with ECVET, that offers a modular training course, whereby carers can re-establish a mentally healthy lifestyle and well-being. The spillover effect of the project will be that this will also be beneficial for nurses, psychologists, etc. that are working with people with disabilities.
