News from CCS Sofia from May 2008
Two group programs were started in the Centre in May 2008. One is targeting children who have committed antisocial acts and is called "Social Tempering through Experience and Cooperation".
The program aims to combat the negative behavior of the children through the instillation of a positive attitude, through the revelation of the strong sides of the children based on the principle of cooperation, trust and encouragement; understanding and acceptance of personal qualities and skills and inspiration for decision-making for future behavior on the part of the children. The children that took part in the program were taken to an outdoor excursion in the region of Mogila near the village of Balsha.
The other program is organized and conducted by two French art-therapy specialists that are currently on an internship in the Centre.
Three multidisciplinary meetings on cases of children were held in the Centre this month. One was initiated by a trainer from the HCDPC "Petko R. Slaveikov" and was with representatives from the CPU in the Sofia neighborhood Mladost, another was with CPU Vyzrajdane and the last one was with CPU Krasno Selo.
The conclusive conference on the project "Another Space for the Children from the Home" will be on June 18th, 2008 in "Chervenata Kyshta".
