​Toolbox: to be or not to be a personal assistant to a family member?

The Toolbox ‘To be or not to be a personal assistant to a family member’ was developed as part of a transnational cooperation project with 4 core partners including COFACE Disability member Magenta. The toolbox is indeed a co-creation involving the insight and expertise of 150 stakeholders collected through:
• Exploratory focus groups
• In-depth focus groups
• Interviews
• Feedback group
• Workgroups: informative tools
• Test panels (in group and “home alone”)
• Illustrators, graphic designers, video editing, music, excel
experts
