24 candidates will study for a week.
The day before, November 21, training for candidates for adoptive parents, guardians/custodians, and those who plan to create a foster family, family-type orphanages, and a foster family began.
The organizers of the training are the Lviv Regional Center of Social Services in cooperation with trainers and psychologists of the Zakarpattia and Ternopil Regional Centers of Social Services.
Children’s services conducted a selection of candidates. As part of their education, trainings will be held for them, which are aimed at forming the readiness of future parents to accept children into their families.
The head of the children’s service of the regional military administration, Volodymyr Lys, director of the regional center of social services, Yaroslav Bordiyan, congratulated the participants on the start of training.
The training program for the candidates was presented by Larysa Petushkova, an expert of the UNICEF project “Monitoring and providing for the needs of children in the conditions of war in Ukraine”.
During exercises and role-playing games, candidates will have the opportunity to “try on” a new role – parents, analyze their own family structure, define family values, talk about their fears and worries.
The training of the candidates takes place within the scope of the tasks of the UN Children’s Fund UNICEF project “Monitoring and meeting the needs of children in the conditions of war in Ukraine”, which is implemented by the International Charity Organization “Partnership “Every Child” on the order of the Ministry of Social Policy of Ukraine.
The training will last a week, and 24 participants will take part in it.
