Their programs emphasize the development of healthy routines, teaching essential life skills such as cooking and housekeeping. Moreover, a key focus is on enhancing parenting skills through educational sessions, vocational training, and physical fitness. Children engage in activities that foster solid, trusting connections with their parents, alongside intensive family therapy that helps establish structure and routines.
