Toolkit for effective Remote Counselling
To help mental health workers to facilitate the roll-out and support the provision of remote counselling services the project has developed a toolkit that includes:
- Self - assessment tool: The tool has the objective to assess the skills in remote counselling giving to the workers in mental health the chance to reflect on their skills, knowledge, readiness, and attitude towards remote counselling, assisting them to easily identify your strengths and potential areas for improvement. It is available here
- E-book, aimed at mental health professionals who wish to integrate remote counselling into their services.It provides a brief, comprehensive and understandable overview of project REMCO's curriculum and will be available off-line as well!
GREEK MULTIPLIER EVENT
On April 25th, 2024, the Greek multiplier event of the REMCO project was successfully organized in Athens!

OERs on remote mental health counselling
To enable mental health workers to acquire the skills and competencies required to deliver effective online mental health counselling sessions, the project REMCO developed a combination of pedagogical resources that will help them keep up with the latest field developments, in particular:
• Vocational curriculum that can be used by VET providers and mental health institutions to provide continuous training opportunities for mental health workers in remote counselling
• Pool of pedagogical resources (learning materials) to support the delivery of the REMCO MOOC

Second Transnational Project Meeting in Athens
After our first REMCO TP meeting was held online, our second TPM was live in Athens from 27th and 28th June 2022 and we got to know each other for the first time. Our partner Exelia hosted the meeting.
We worked hard - went over the planned activities and the first project results. We are now set for the 2nd project task - structuring of educational material related to online counseling in in the field of mental health!
FOCUS GROUP
For the development of the first project result, we have gathered experts from various backgrounds (psychotherapist, psychological and vocational counsellors) to discuss the importance of remote counselling in the field of mental health.
What digital and non-digital skills a mental health worker needs in order to provide online service.
KICK OFF MEETING
Just started the new Erasmus+ project REMCO and the consortium met online for the very first time.
For the next 30 months we will work together to make available a curriculum with corresponding Open Educational Resources (OERs) for the continuous professional development of MENTAL HEALTH WORKERS, to address the emerging occupational & skills needs related to the provision of ICT-enabled REMOTE COUNSELLING SERVICES.
In fact, clear and consistent policies and protocols on remote mental health service provision are missing and the majority of counselling workers lack the requisite knowledge and skills to provide effective “telepractice” services.
