SOCIAL WITHDRAWAL – SUPPORT FOR PARENTS
The Association supports parents through individual or couple sessions, refers them to its self-help groups specifically for parents of boys and girls in social withdrawal, and collaborates on building personalised plans for the young people together with social services, schools and other third-sector organisations. It also organises information and awareness-raising sessions for parents, as well as for teachers and educators
What it sets out to do
The project supports parents of children, adolescents and young adults in social withdrawal through support interviews, counselling and self-help groups
Who it reaches
Province of Trento
Who runs it
Associazione A.M.A. Auto Mutuo Aiuto odv (A.M.A. Self Mutual Help Association, a voluntary organisation)
What seems to make it work
The project is effective because it is necessary to work in an integrated way with the family and to offer opportunities specific to the particularities of each family's history. The self-help (a.m.a.) groups are essential for breaking out of isolation, sharing strategies and emotions, and feeling welcomed and not judged.
What gets in the way
It is difficult to work on an issue that is not yet regulated at national level and without formalised institutional contacts.
How it is funded
Fundraising, and partly through public funds from the Comune di Trento (Trento Municipality).
Moving it somewhere else
The project can be replicated; it is necessary to have staff with strong expertise in this specific subject and in the self-help methodology.

What seems to make it work
