Pandemics can trigger strong negative emotional reactions such as overwhelming feelings of fear and distress, feelings of hopelessness, intense anxiety, loneliness, overwhelming uncertainty, and panic. Preventing the intensification and potential escalation of negative emotional reactions and promoting well-being (despite the obvious difficulties and constraints people face) are important elements of response. The UN emphasizes the impact of COVID-19 on people with disabilities in deepening pre-existing inequalities, exposing the extent of exclusion and highlighting that work on disability inclusion is imperative. This crisis reinforces the importance of taking action in order to guarantee their right for inclusion in the society, their access to health (including mental health) and well-being. In contact with people with disability, their families - including families with a disabled - as well as with other vulnerable groups the project partners experienced that those persons are affected by the Corona pandemic very strongly. Many times external support and aid stopped due to Corona measures. Person with disabilities as well as their families could feel left alone (e.g. Inclusion Technology Lab Berlin and Fraunhofer-Institut für Angewandte Informationstechnik FIT in Germany found in an online survey that 46 % of families with a child with a handicap felt overstrained and 41 % of their children cannot cope well with the situation). Meanwhile, Person with disability needed to understand the COVID, the health information and the information over the management of the crisis and lockdown process. If vulnerable publics were particularly affected by the crisis, its impact on the care sector should not be underestimated. Many times professionals feel unsecure about necessary measures and questions of hygiene, health and prevention. They also had to cope with demands and complexity of the work change combined with the multiplication of emotional demand from families to maintain links with their confined loved one, the management of fears of contamination, family tensions in view of the lack of availability and the overburdening of work. It is also possible that professionals also are overstrained with their private and professional situation and have a need of psychosocial support or supervision to reduce pressure and anxiety. In the services, the staff discomfort and burn out risks must be taken into consideration. In addition, our organisations had to cope with the obligation of physical – social distancing in the provision of support for person with disability. It is imperative to ensure the continuity of this support and of the implementation of the inclusion, inclusion that is especially challenged by the COVID crisis. The provision of essential services in times of crisis even if social distancing measures apply implies a new organisational model in terms of work organisation and contact with the supported persons. Cross-border collaboration within the CORESIL project intends to address these different needs by bringing a collective response on the EMR. Coresil will thus focus on two axis: 1) the Resilence support - psychosocial and health management counselling. In order to support the different groups strongly affected by the Corona pandemic, the aim is to develop a coherent offer with a view to promote natural recovery and autonomy, and to identify and guide those who need support. Partners will put in common their best practices to improve the coherence of the response on the EMR in terms of support of target audience but also to communicate adequately on the crisis and its consequences. 2) Pandemic Resilient Social Services to strengthen the pandemic resilience of their services and assure the business continuity of their services that are essential in supporting elderly people and people with disability. The involved project partners want to have an extensive cross-border exchange about how to use and implement digitalisation tools, develop and implement new work concepts in their organisation to stay operational every time and everywhere. The findings, results and developments achieved during the project will be available to every partner and the partners agree to support each other in the cross-border implementation of the project results. Each partners will bring its expertise in order to develop common tools. The cost linked to deliverables is presented in common but the sharing of each partner financial contributions will be recorded in the partnership agreement. (English)
