School of Mother/Father

It is where parents come to learn and raise awareness of how to accompany children as they grow and deal with any issues that come their way.

The focus is on establishing stable community structures of solidarity in which children can develop healthily.

The essential reason would be to heal the trauma, fear and distrust of the parent so that they do not pass on subconscious patterns of fear to the child.

The Mother/Parent School provides safe spaces to integrate our processes, discuss questions about children in the community and receive supportive feedback from others.

The main goal is to provide informational support in mastering the art of being a Parent and the correct guidance for solving problems.

We help parents and children gain confidence and independence, we are there for families when they need us. The personalized support we offer helps families cope and gives children the chance to thrive safely.

Within the CRRC, the Mother/Father School is run by specialists in pediatric rehabilitation.

Meetings with parents take place once/twice a week with a duration of 30-40 minutes.
