Scopul Asociaţiei „Tzuby’s Kids” este ca fiecare copil să beneficieze de o familie fie prin prevenirea avortului şi a abandonului, fie prin sprijinirea reintegrării copiilor în familii biologice, a integrării în familia extinsă, a plasamentului familial, a asistenţei maternale şi a adopţiei.
Acolo unde nu există altă posibilitate de intervenţie, scopul nostru este dezvoltarea durabilă a copiilor instituţionalizaţi, aflaţi în risc sau dificultate, precum şi a tinerilor care ies din sistemul de protecţie sau care sunt în situaţie de risc şi dificultate prin oferirea de suport în vederea recuperării fizice şi psiho-emoţionale, a dezvoltării vocaţionale şi a integrării sociale.

We’ve started the Training Academy!
As you may already know, the end of 2016, the idea of a Training Academy for trauma-competent caregivers began to take shape. Why was a Training Academy needed? On the one hand, there was a need for holistic training, both in trauma-informed care and parenting. In order to have successful integrations and contribute effectively to heal abandoned children,…

A strong caregiver relationship can limit the effects of trauma, increase a child’s confidence and independence, and empower a child to explore life from a safe base. Therefore, caring for caregivers- and coaching them…
