Finally the last day of shows! And with that we take for all the subjects completed the second semester. As Jose said, very honestly speaking, we never seem to get rid of the blog. I need to get to study the subject of deprivation as soon as possible or I will be forced to visit Seville in September, and October seems like a better month to come!
The first exhibition was back on the group of people homeless. I say again, because last week we dedicate an hour to this subject. Although the sisters tried to approach it differently, the theoretical contents were obviously the same. On the other hand, the second exposure and was new to the M2, Prostitution, not so for the other group. This is what you have, you can not be to everyone's taste.

Homeless are those that do not have a home with minimum conditions of habitability and that because of this deficiency must be established in special schools provided by public or private entities to assist this group, such as shelters, are excluded in the excluded can not be more excluded than they. Everyone knows who they are but nobody wants to look at them or give them importance. Possible theories about their exclusion would be:
- Problem of removal is determined by individual characteristics (do not want to follow the rules set by society.)
- Socio-economic changes, post-industrial society. The social structure is responsible for the shortcomings of individuals
- Discrimination active (carries a negative stigma and the exclusion).
After this brief introduction gave us a surprise that they had prepared: A little theater mimics in Sofia, passer who recently reached the street, who lets other people on the street are drug while it is progressively missing links in your life. The drama ends when they break a piece of paper on which it is drawn a house resembles your situation. Representation is fraught with symbolism in which a person represents the system that gives back to the group, losing the ring as loss of family, loneliness, the block is dropped and the clock health and lack Jacket money. This situation makes the throw to Sofia's work for being in this situation, finally touching the labor factor. Actually this is an exaggeration of what they are and development are the people who come to live in the street, but I stayed with that seen crazy.
The numbers say that there are between 20,000 and 30,000 homeless people in Spain, but they are not accurate that is. The overall profile is very heterogeneous as stated, but tending to the generality would be talking about male, single, English. Between 36 and 55 years with health problems and does not receive financial benefits. Still, a growing group of women, youth and immigrants, so we can find a hodgepodge and nothing concrete.
not all sleep in the streets but often resort to shelters, occupied houses, boarding houses or people if possible, but in regard to the first appeal, the squares as we are used are minimal. For some it is the excluded within the excluded. A curious fact is that 20% live on their salary, but 12% are employed. The remaining percentage is not reflected understand because it is work that may not discharged. On the contrary, we find a vast majority who have no work, no gain, and thus the reliance on others and the system.
Situations of dependency, disability or serious illness, drug addiction, mental illness (psychosis, schizophrenia. People suffering from it before being in the street and this is another risk factor q has led to its exclusion.) hepatitis C, HIV and skin diseases are among the issues to which this group is exposed due to their high vulnerability. But still affects lack of affection which perpetuates the situation by not having the motivation that comes from the warmth of another person. This factor is close to the case of maintenance work harder for this group.
What this exhibition highlight was undoubtedly the amount of institution attended, which made it quite complete the thought that we could have on the resources available to this group. This is the biggest difference I found with respect to the other exhibition focused on the charity of religious nature. There they go:
- Solidarity.
- Cristo Vive .
- social dining "San Vicente de Paul."
Catering (lunch every day of the year and snacks to go) which houses about 350 people a day, mostly women, immigrants and families. There is no filter for those who want to go, even we ourselves can go (something that caught my attention), the only ones not allowed to enter is a minor, by what many call the takeaway. Have service closet and shower two days a week. On the other hand, provides an active employment assistance by a social worker: highlighting the work of stay-at-home or external interim. The proposed methodology was chosen small weekly goals for and fixate decayesen not work they were seeking. I put a rest day for them to see that work was to find another job. Commented as a given the existence of a loophole in q illegal immigrants are not able to receive social benefits to q have not spent three years of residency, such as Red Cross, who refuses to serve undocumented immigrants (something I was unaware, in fact thought the association was more immigrants poured with regularized).
- Albergue Municipal de Rivera Perafán. "
- “Centro Amigo”.
We can differentiate between a placement service and other services day center, which only give workshops and lunch but can not upload to the bedroom area. This complemented with supervised apartments.
In short, this center plays a minute intervention with a very high percentage of achievement. What a joy to hear things like this from time to time.
As educator distinguish functions:
- Welcome and teach the standard
centers - Confiscation and manage personal
- Assessment of the problems of users.
- individualized treatment and monitoring.
- Monitoring supervised apartments.
- Coordination of group activities.
- Mediate between professionals and users.
- Assistance in managing daily life (going to the doctor, bank, shopping ...)
- Coordination with the multidisciplinary team
- Support for social and professional integration.
If you become the question of whether they have a service to look up or contact with the families the answer is no, but if families wanted to attend could do so voluntarily. Keep in mind that one of the characteristics of this group is the possible break with the family link, so that these centers are not intervening in these issues without having dealt with them before, which may be in logic or be an important deficiency.
resources there are minimal, but more than you thought it would. Still, the intervention is insufficient to achieve the autonomy of these people. This still feel eminently welfare, as the institutions become agents themselves perpetuating the situation of the homeless. They are angels living on the sidewalks.
