Family Relationships
Support for children dealing with grief, illness or family separation
Fondation Dora provided assistance to the As'trame foundation in the creation, development and running of its centre in Geneva.
To prevent the consequences of a breakdown in family relationships, As'trame has designed an innovative approach based on two key principles: support for children and families, and training for professionals. Support for children and families is based on a non-medical therapeutic process: “the path to self-reliance”. This process includes a structured series of seven individual and group meetings comprising an initial interview, five themed meetings and a review interview, followed up by other forms of individual or family support, as needed.
This approach enables each affected child to fully understand their situation, to gain control of their emotions and their suffering, and to learn how to help themselves to move forward.
