Behind a rosTO® (PDR®)

The project proposes the exploration of the life story of the person experiencing homelessness (PSSA) through individual Occupational Therapy sessions (using creative approaches, photovoice and digital narratives) and a final event, which aims to give voice and shape to the participants' experiences as an act of advocacy and incentive for policy changes. The premise of PDR®, innovative in its approach to this population, is the evocation of memories as a vehicle for the reconstruction of identity. Its main objective is to lead 10 PSSA, for a period of 12 months, to positive identification processes, using the evocation of memories as a vehicle for the reconstruction of their identity. Secondary objectives are: Promote the self-expression of PSSA, giving voice to their experiences; Sensitise the community to the problem of discrimination and stigma of PSSA; and Contribute to the process of addressing the RSC, promoting a complementary and integrated intervention.
