Tiivistelmä
The purpose of the research is to collect innovative development suggestions from social workers in Espoo regarding a collaboration between both adult social service office and Kutsu-Project in promoting clients’ rehabilitation through activities and services. This thesis is the stepping stone of the developmental process in the future of this collaboration.
The working life partner is Kutsu-hanke, which is a project operating under Espoo Mental Health association EMY ry. This project received a three year fund from STEA, which ends in December 2018. Kutsu-project aims to alleviate the loneliness of people between the ages of 29-69, by offering various activities and services for this target client group.
In addition to discussing the public and 3rd sectors in general and analyzing the topic of collaboration through the co-production of services, our theoretical framework also includes loneliness. The data was gathered using focused group interview method. The interview included a client situation and four open ended interview questions. The main respondents were three social workers representing Espoo adult social work. Participants also included two Kutsu-project workers.
The findings brought forward the public sector social workers’ perspective on a future collaboration with the Kutsu-project. The results could be summarized in three major themes: An undeniable benefit in a constructive collaboration; existing client rehabilitation services which use is not being optimized due to an inability to reach the target client group and series of innovative new approaches to implement this reach.
