Annotation

An international project which is aimed at children from households and families of people addicted to addictive substances. Children who live in such environments are at risk of adverse socio-economic conditions, inappropriate or absent education, psychological or physical violence that can lead to mental or physical damage, and social problems. Protective factors are usually absent. Children at risk are often not identified or are identified too late. It is necessary to recognize the children in need of help as early as possible in order to prevent possible negative consequences and strengthen protective factors. The project focuses on cooperation between institutions providing social and legal protection of children, counseling for families at risk, and addiction services.
