In this post, we will provide more detailed information about the activities of the “Ridni” Center for Social Support of Children and Families, which was created by the Lviv City Council with the support of the Ridni Charitable Foundation.
The Center includes two main departments:
1. Emergency placement of children
2. Family Support Service
The “Emergency Placement of Children” department provides social services for children who are in difficult life circumstances, are internally displaced persons (IDPs), found and abandoned, as well as for those who have applied to the Center on their own.
The “Family Support Service” department is aimed at working with the parents of children who are in the Center. It provides counseling and social prevention for families in difficult life circumstances, with addicted family members or abusers. Specialists provide individual and group consultations, cooperate with city organizations that help people with various addictions.
In 2023, the “Family Support Service” department of the Center provided support to 17,672 people.
Currently, within the framework of the Center’s work, a project is being implemented to expand the range of services, which will contribute to improving work with families and ensuring an even greater number of children the opportunity to live in a loving and caring family. The project is being implemented in cooperation with the Ridni Charitable Foundation, the “Service for Children’s Affairs” Department of the Lviv City Council and the “Ridni” Center for Social Support of Children and Families, with the support of the British Government.
