Background<\/h3>\n

The complexity of a visual impairment with multiple additional disabilities is often the reason for adopting a highly individualistic approach. A pilot study by Boesen et al. (2016) showed that there is hardly any literature available on how to deal with these multi-problems. Especially literature on the combination of psychological and psychiatric symptoms with a visual impairment is missed. Within the entire population of people with a visual impairment, this is a small group. It is therefore inevitable and necessary to work together with partners from abroad in order to better support this vulnerable group of clients through joint expertise. The method we use for this is the sharing of best practices.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>

Goal<\/h3>\n

During six Transnational Project meetings, professionals and clients from five countries shared their knowledge and expertise in this area. All good practices shared during these meetings have been collected in a digital \u2018Good Practices Book\u2019 that will be used for further training of professionals (educators and trainers) in working with adults with a visual impairment and additional psychological\/psychiatric problems. With the ultimate goal to better assist service users.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>

Approach<\/h3>\n

Six \u2018Transnational Project Meetings\u2019 (TPM)<\/h4>\n

Every participating country organised a TPM of two days in which a specific comorbid mental disorder was the theme of the meeting. During these events the following activities took place:<\/p>\n<\/div>

<\/div><\/div><\/div>

Expert\u2019s talk<\/strong><\/p>\n

The organising country invited an expert to share the latest knowledge about the specific mental disorder.<\/p>\n

What\u2019s the situation<\/strong><\/p>\n

Each country presented how they deal with the specific mental disorder in their own organisation. How many service users experience the specific mental disorder, how do they provide care to these adults and what are their questions.<\/p>\n

Case discussions<\/strong><\/p>\n

Each country presented cases during the TPM\u2019s and knowledge and experience about how to deal with that case were shared.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>
