Resilient Families, Stronger Communities
Boosting personal resources: building enthusiasm about the future
Children can’t choose their parents, select the circumstances they’re born into or pre-plan the terms of their existence. When life is bad for mums and dads, it’s generally worse for their offspring. Children can’t choose not to be born disadvantaged through poverty, social exclusion, disability or learning difficulty. They’re stuck with it. EQ helps them make the best of things using those resources they have at their disposal.
EQ’s programmes are designed to complement mainstream schooling and are not specifically targeted at youngsters who are failing educationally and / or socially. However, we are especially keen to work with those who are at risk of being irreparably damaged by the circumstances in which they find themselves.
The EQ team is multi-skilled and a pioneering force in the realms of education design and child welfare.
It contains educational specialists promoting full-on engagement with the community and the natural world as a means of personal growth for children and parents. Recognizing the worthy aspects of your environment and learning to nurture them in a spirit of optimism and respect is a profoundly transformational experience. EQ teaches people to take personal responsibility for their own futures - it’s as simple as that.
EQ is also a significant service provider managing social support for children and families and caring for a group of profoundly disabled children in one of the few small group homes that are currently operational in Bulgaria. Our experts have been engaged in childcare reform in SEE since its inception and this gives them a range and depth of practical experience that is hard to come by in the locale.
