In Lutsk, as part of the EU Project "Strengthening Regional Social Services," a three-day training for social workers titled "Developing Needs Assessment Skills" was held. This was reported to the Western Information Corporation on December 13 by the Center for European Information.

The training was conducted for representatives of territorial centers for social services for pensioners and single incapacitated citizens, social inspectors, psychologists, and representatives of public organizations working with drug- and alcohol-dependent adolescents and adults.

The training program included familiarization with methods of researching needs and identifying the actual reasons clients seek assistance, and highlighting the achievements of Great Britain in the field of providing social services.

The training was conducted by project experts from the training programs: Katherine Burge and Olena Savchuk.
