Erradicar la coerció no és només una qüestió de protocols, sinó un imperatiu de #DretsHumans. A la sessió d’avui del #Microcredencial #LaTransformaciódelsServeisSocialsideSalut, @alexmarieges ha abordat com el model #Safewards i les unitats de portes obertes mostren que la seguretat pot construir-se des del vincle, la confiança i la relació terapèutica. Un pas més cap a serveis compromesos amb la contenció mecànica zero. ✊

Safewards is a model that was developed in the UK by Prof Len Bowers. It specifically examines events known in the model as 'conflict' and 'Containment'.
