Chapter 2: Intervention methodology

start

The SOCO collective care approach

The Socio Haircare workshops develop hair care techniques that encourage self-presentation, self-discovery and the discovery of one's own sensations.

To this end, workshops can be :

Educational

Learn the essential notions of hair hygiene, inviting participants to learn new or acquired hair care techniques, with the aim of reinvesting in and reappropriating their bodies, through knowledge of shampoo techniques, products and equipment.

Relationship

Gathering participants around a table to focus on support, the helping relationship, self-esteem, stress management, comfort in a climate of trust, restoring dignity, self-respect, and maintaining social ties.

Therapeutic

By improving self-esteem, revaluing integrity and developing interpersonal skills, you'll help the person embrace their body, love and accept it, help them rebuild themselves, learn to take care of themselves, allow themselves the notion of pleasure, and thus take their place.

Intervention methodology

SOCO tools

To run a workshop, you need to prepare before the big day. Before proposing your workshops, you need to design your workshop themes (see workshop sheet). Through workshops, you're going to pass on your knowledge, know-how or information to a given audience, and facilitate learning to breathe life into your event.
