By Russia House | Project Leader
Russia House started communication skills trainings for the Clubhouse members. Strong communication skills are very important for reaching the goals of social inclusion, employment and education. That is why Russia House has decided to provide participants of the rehabilitation program with a course of trainings to improve these skills. A Board member Tatiana Lukina, a professional trainer, leads the trainings which are very popular among Clubhouse members. A lot of very important subjects has been discussed. What is a private space? How to respect individual boundarie? How to respect one's privacy? How to communicate at job placement with one's colleagues and boss? How to say 'no'? What does "be independant" mean? And lots of other matters very important for people with mental health problems. All participants gave a very positive feedback. Some of them believe that their relationships with coleagues at work place have been normalized. Some of them started changing toxic relationaships with family members. Taking into consideration this feedback Russia House plans to continue trainings and make them regular.
