 Introduction |
 |
ANJAF being a member of the World Family Association and having already developed several other national and transnational projects, through which it was intended to respond to the needs felt and identified in different scopes, felt the need to direct a specific and systematic intervention with families. Initially, the Family Support Office will offer support to four sections of the Lisbon district: São Mamede, Campolide, Santa Isabel and Santo Condestável. However, the support given will not be exclusive to the families in these sections, possibly extending to any individuals and/or families that need it.
|
| Objectives |
|
|
The Family Support Bureau will act simultaneously on several different fronts, namely a Social Service Office, a Psychological and Educational Support Office, a Legal Support Office and trainings/workshops on parenting.
