We address people with or without disabilities, people with mental health problems, young people and adults who want to train or improve their professional profile, people who want to find a job...

To obtain the disability certificate, it is necessary to request an administrative document that legally certifies the person's degree of disability. The bodies responsible for managing these procedures are the Department of Work, Social Affairs and Families and the General Directorate of Social Protection.
However, the person interested in the application can turn to the Social Services of their municipality to be assisted and guided by a social worker, who will inform them of the steps they must follow.
The request can be made by accessing the portal Gencat.cat.
According to the Department of Work, Social Affairs and Families of the Generalitat de Catalunya, the dependency situation is the permanent state in which people find themselves who, for reasons derived from age, illness or disability, and linked to a lack of physical, mental, intellectual or sensory autonomy, they need the attention of one or more people. These people also need significant help to carry out the basic activities of daily life or, as in the case of people with an intellectual disability or mental illness, other help for their personal autonomy.
In order to obtain the recognition of the dependency situation, it is necessary to make a request to the Department of Work, Social Affairs and Families. The request can be made through the portal Gencat.cat .
According to the Law, the people who can apply for the corresponding aid are those who need help to carry out several of the basic activities of daily life, either in Grade I (or moderate dependence), Grade II (or severe dependence ) or Grade III (or high dependency).
It is about providing the necessary support to those people with difficulties through one of the figures contemplated by current legislation, adapted to the intensity, needs and circumstances of the person in order to guarantee that they can exercise their rights and take their own decisions.
The modification of a person's capacity is considered when the lack of capacity prevents taking care of oneself and one's property.
Until now, when a person required support and representation in their day-to-day life, we brought it to the attention of the court to request a modification of the capacity to work, which was a judicial procedure through which the capacity was limited or replaced to act for the person and a guardian or curator was appointed who was in charge of representing the person in whole or in part. With the new legislative reform in the field of support for people with disabilities, we are moving from this system based on substitution and representation to a new one where the fundamental thing is the will and preferences of the person with the aim of respecting their dignity , ensure compliance with their fundamental rights and respect for free will.
The new regulation not only adds a new access route for obtaining a measure of support (previously guardianship/guardianship), but also prioritizes it over the second and hitherto usual route.
We talk about the voluntary way and the judicial way. Prior to the reform, the only way to obtain support was through judicial proceedings. Currently, the law prioritizes the establishment of voluntary support measures. This means that the person himself can establish, either through a notarial document or voluntary jurisdiction procedure before a court, what type of support he needs and who he wants to provide this support.
Only for those cases where the person does not have the capacity to request these measures, the law provides for the judicial procedure for the provision of support via litigation, that is to say without the will of the person. This type of access road is exceptional and subject to accredited justification.
