DSB strenghtened social inclusion of people with deviant sexual behaviour

The main objective of the project was to strengthen social inclusion of people with deviant sexual behaviour (DSB).
 
During the implementation, the project offered counselling services both for people with deviant sexual behaviour and their closed ones. Altogether 873 people got counselling whether though online or phone call services which were provided by partner organisations.
 
Project also organised training for professionals who are working with people with DSB. Totally, 292 professionals with different backgrounds (social and youth workers, psychiatrists, psychologist, police and probation workers, child protection specialists, sexual health counsellors etc.) participated in the trainings. Trainings focused on how to provide adequate and relevant counselling to DSB. Training themes included for example topics like sexuality in general, different types of DSB, main associated problems and common intervention, as well as therapy methods; how to detect possible DSB among clients and how to approach the person; how to establish trusting relationship with DSB etc.
 
Amongst the other activities, the project also implemented a media campaign to raise knowledge about DSB. The campaign´s main purpose was to inform the target group about counselling services and channels where they can get help and advice.

Through these activities, the project aimed on decreasing of social exclusion of DSB and increasing the inclusion of DSB into the labour market.
