The Family is an Essential Partner

The Family is an Essential Partner

Rehabilitation is not complete within the center alone. We involve parents in setting goals and tracking progress, provide them with guidance and counseling, and build bridges with the school and the local community so that every beneficiary finds their natural place among others.
