Many female adolescents in the ages of 13-18 are coping with high risk or crisis situations, which might impair their personal, social and academic development and at times lead to their removal from their homes into foster care. A Warm Home program was created to provide a supportive and gender-specific framework for these girls. The program provides a safe and nurturing environment for its members, allowing them to grow, become stronger and chart a promising future for themselves.
A Warm Home provides personal support alongside a wide variety of therapy, self-improvement and enrichment workshops. In addition, the home offers recreational activities, educational support, and family therapy aimed at strengthening the mother-child relationship. Activity is held in tight systemic collaboration with the municipal welfare and educational services, aimed at improving the recipients’ social and academic performance and self-identity and mitigating high-risk situations.
The Warm Home staff includes:
- Lead coordinator – supervising social worker
- House mother
- Social councilor
The staff is provided with professional and organizational guidance.
