Many public social services organisations are on the journey to transition from providing institutionalised care to providing support in local communities. This shift places individuals overcoming or managing various conditions, disabilities, or life difficulties at the forefront.

Join our discussion with Tara Doheny, Service Reform Manager at Genio in Ireland and Spela Rezun, Director of VDC Zasavje, a public regional social centre in Slovenia. Discover their perspectives on community care, the motivations driving them, and their proactive efforts to champion a more person-centred care model within their roles and organizations. They share practical examples from their experiences on the ground that showcase how transformative efforts are being made in the field of social services.
