Inclusion Desks provided two thousand services so far, highlights Mónica Seidi
Since the opening of the Region's Inclusion Desks, located in Angra do Heroísmo, Ponta Delgada, Horta and Ribeira Grande, around two thousand services have been provided so far, stated the Regional Secretary for Health and Social Security, Mónica Seidi. The Social Security services in Praia da Vitória, Terceira Island, now also have an Inclusion Desk, a service dedicated to providing support, information and guidance to people with disabilities and impairments, as well as their families and organisations. The new Inclusion Desk is part of the Regional Strategy for People with Disabilities in the Azores (ERIPDA) 2023-2030, which aims to tackle social exclusion and promote a fairer and more inclusive society. Mónica Seidi considered this to be one of several positive measures included in the ERIPDA, with a view to ensuring balanced geographical coverage and qualified technical support in the Region. It also aims to reach a coverage rate that is closer to the population's actual needs, which has now been achieved. "The Inclusion Desks are more than mere services: they evidence a public policy that respects and promotes human dignity," stated the government official. The professionals working at these service desks have received specific training from the National Institute for Rehabilitation, through the Regional Directorate for the Promotion of Equality and Social Inclusion. It ensures that the information provided is accurate and updated and that services are delivered with quality, care, and respect. This training also acknowledges the complexity of issues surrounding disability and the importance of responding with knowledge, empathy, and commitment.
