Navrat: Lets find every child in Slovakia a family

Dear donors,

Thank to your support and generous gifts we managed to stand by tenths of adoptive and foster families during the whole year 2015. We have prepared more than 30 new adoptive or foster pairs or individuals. We have provided psychological and social counselling for more than 50 parents. We have served more than 60 children with specialised therapies focused on trauma relief, strenghtening of the safe relational bond between parents and child, encouragement of confidence in the world and in the close people.

We have trained 14 parents in the Training of parental skills with the elements of filial therapy. We have used diagnostical and therapeutical advantages of Sandplay therapy with 13 children. We have trained 16 parents with their 20 children in how to use touches as a healing element of the relationship in the Touch therapy.

We have spent a lot of time dealing with the life history of the children. It is very crucial for them to be aware of their past, to accept the past experience and to take active role in the formation of own future. The identity of the child who was abandonned by biological parents and then spent time in various places (orphanages, diagnostical centres, foster families,...) is very complex and it demand a lot of time and attention to manage it and thus become able to find own place in the world and in one’s own life.

It is also thank to your contribution that we have provided with special professional services mroe than 80 families and 60 children in adotive or foster homes.
