Innovative services for a better quality of life for families and children with disabilities
Every child has the right to life in the family and the family environment.
The Covid-19 infectious disease epidemic further demonstrated the vulnerability of social institutions to accommodate beneficiaries and highlighted the need to develop services that would support:
  • families to care for children in a family environment;
  • prevent the separation of children from families;
  • support the return of children to the primary family (if separation has occurred).
 
Be part of the Social Innovation Lab.
