KONSULTA'M lab
This lab is based on the Konsulta'm Program (Barcelona City Council), a service specially planned for youth and young adults population facing emotional challenges or distress. This program aims at the detection and early intervention of psychological problems that might have young people at school, family, and/or a community context. It is focused on a psycho-social intervention and considering the context complexity, offers person-centred counselling based on the person's needs and priorities.
As a community-based service, Konsulta’m aims at integrating collaboration among other services for the young population such as Youth Mental Health Specialized Services, Educational Services, Youth Programs, Sports and Leisure services, Social Services, etc.
In this context, Konsulta'm lab, in collaboration with Avedis Donabedian research Institute (UAB), aims at developing a learning and innovation model for the approach, development, and testing of new strategies, practices, tools, and solutions to promote services from a perspective of integrated and people-centered care.
Konsulta'm Learning and Innovation Lab allows the possibility of networking in a shared and continuous space for professional learning from different services and disciplines, including research professionals, representatives of service providers, organizations, as well as users to explore and test new approaches and solutions to detected problems (alternative work systems, methodologies, processes...). The lab will address the need for greater integration of care, which requires new professional skills and abilities, through the search for innovation aimed at overcoming organizational and professional barriers.
