On the occasion of National Home Health Day, the Community Autonomy Service organized a day to promote home help and care professions at Sepx. 120 students from the colleges of Salies-du-Salat and Aspet, the high schools of St-Gaudens, St-Girons and the Mfr de Mane participated in 8 workshops presenting the daily life of caregivers and home helpers, workshops led by autonomy service agents. From the connection, from the human, it is difficult to pour yourself a glass of water or grab a 2-cent coin from a wallet when you are equipped with an aging simulator or a Parkinsonian tremor simulator. It's not easy to react well to a person in moral or physical distress. How to use the right gestures to help with toileting? Take a person's constants? Show empathy? Organize the management of such a service? Recruiting for employment? So many scenarios that allowed these young people to understand in a realistic, concrete way professions that are not always easy but essential, why not create vocations. Second highlight, the presentation of the film “A day with the Cagire Garonne Salat Autonomy Service”video produced as part of a call for projects from Ars Occitanie on democracy in health. Director Thierry Rajic followed long weeks of pairs, beneficiaries and caregivers or home helpers sometimes together when help and care complement each other. He filmed them in their daily lives, managing to capture these moments of life, sometimes difficult, sometimes funny, often moving. This film was presented to high school students, agents of the Cagire Garonne Salat autonomy service and community elected officials in the presence of the director.
