Help to the Endangered Families
Eva Counselling Centre keeps helping the endangered families in 2012. This kind of social services has deep-rooted origins – Eva Counselling Centre has been helping the families since 2005. The project, which is focused on family social services in field, was established on the basis of the experience we had from meetings with our female clients who used to come to the Counselling Centre with the problems considering the whole families.
We have managed to continue with our activities in 2012 and the “Family Help Project”, which was financially supported by Tereza Maxová Foundation, helped us significantly.
The main goal of the “Family Help Project” is to support the families with children, whose family life and living together as well as staying of the children in the family might be threatened. This project is a reaction to the current worsening situation of some families, whose stability and proper existence is threatened, mostly by unemployment, possible loss of the place to live and also by increasing level of indebtedness. The outcomes of these unfavourable situations influence not only the adults, but also the underage children living in the particular family.
We are trying to help our clients in running their families with the assistance of our field social programs and counselling services (including the debt and legal counselling) and volunteers who help the children.
How can we particularly help you?
Our social workers offer to assist the endangered families. Within this cooperation, they support acquiring skills and habits which are vital for our client families. These include practical skills considering the child care and upbringing, maintaining the household, budgeting and so on. Our social workers also help with dealings with authorities, schools and other entities; they support the families in keeping their place to live and they also provide our clients with the debt counselling. They can also support the families in securing the pre-school education for their children (either kindergarten or preparatory classes) and when talking to parents, they can help them to deal with possible problems their children may encounter in school, all this thanks to their cooperation with the schools, educational and psychological counselling centers and children psychologists.
There is also a possibility of children education support thanks to the cooperation with the Volunteer Center of the Diocesan Charity in České Budějovice. The volunteers can help with the school preparation as well as with the leisure time activities.
The “Family Help Project” is realized in cooperation with the Department of social and legal protection of children (City Authority of České Budějovice) whose employees recommend our services to the families in need.
