Actions to strengthen social services and prevent burnout among social workers (MUN from I to VIII)

Supporting vulnerable people and preventing institutionalization  (Mission 5, Component 2, Investment 1)

Italy’s Recovery and Resilience Plan provides support for vulnerable people and preventing institutionalisation. This investment will include the following interventions: (I) supporting parenting skills and preventing vulnerability of families and children; (II) supporting an autonomous life and de-institutionalisation for elderly people; (II) reinforcing home social services to guarantee early supported discharge and prevent hospitalization; (III) strengthening social services and preventing burnout among social workers.

The investment is financed by Italy’s Recovery and Resilience plan by EUR 85 million at the national level.

As part of this investment, the project aimed to strengthen social services and prevent burnout among social workers by introducing supervision activities as spaces for discussion and support. These sessions addressed key burnout factors, analysed professional practices, and shared strategies to improve well-being and service effectiveness.

This project is financed by the Recovery and Resilience Facility with EUR 210.000,00.
