| Annotation | The Empowerment Project was set up by Strathclyde Poverty Alliance (now the Poverty Alliance), and ran from November 1992 to February 1995. The Project's aim was to empower frail older people in continuing care wards of long stay hospitals, and to consider problems of institutionalisation. This is a manual based on the experiences of the Project. It aims to give the reader an understanding of the process of empowerment and ways forward. The guidelines given are intended as a framework, to be related to a specific context and type of empowerment work. They cover definitions, explanations, examples, models, principles, check lists, and ground rules. |
