Right After Care
Περιγραφή
The Right After Care project aims at the development and delivery of an integrated approach in dealing with the preparedness of care leavers to face the challenges of living an independent adult life. This approach mainly involves the acquisition and development of certain life skills among the population of minors who are preparing to leave the care structure where they reside, in order to make their first steps as adults effectively and successfully. The project is premised on the idea that investing in, and adequately resourcing, the acquisition of basic life skills for prospective care leavers is the single most important component for after care success and independence. The Right After Care project develops and undertakes a comprehensive strategy to better enable care-experienced children in Greece to achieve their potential and deliver improvements in their educational, social and economic outcomes. To this end, the project supports care and education professionals to develop the necessary competences to adequately prepare care leavers for their life after care.
