Some stories about “Dream” coaching

Addiction

He is looking for meaningful daytime activities, preferably work. He lives alone in a social housing and has an addiction problem (alcohol and other drugs). Together with his GP and other care providers (home nursing, OCMW, etc.), we work on his “thresholds”, we remove them one by one and look for work together.

Autism

He still lives at home, his “world” is slightly different from society. Certain “expected” skills are slightly inferior or slower. We will work on this together and as an occupational therapist I will try to be a bridge. We make his skills stronger, and we try to make adjustments in his search for a daily routine and employment.

Physical disability

He has reduced mobility and has lived at home with the necessary support until now. Together with him and his parents we will look for an independent life. He is currently in a “room”, together we teach him how to do safe “transfers”, get dressed, go to the store independently, brush, cook, etc. Everything he needs to live independently.

Ergo-Droom helps by looking together at the past (addiction, depression, physical limitations, autism, etc.), the present, and building a dream together (finding new work, taking up old hobbies, visiting friends, living independently, etc.).

Starting from "being"

What am I good at? (strengths, competencies,..)

Where do I want to go? (what is my dream)

What do I want to eliminate from my life? (what bothers, bothers me)

What am I loyal to? (what is important)

What am I small in? (weaknesses)

We reflect on this using various methods

Searching for (volunteers) work together (job carving-job matching)

Looking for planning together and making dreams concrete.

Working on self-confidence through success experiences.

Finding peace by learning to plan

Start from strengths.

Turning around weaknesses

We go out together:
