Ready for a better future – Psychotherapy for institutionalized teenagers / Pregatiti pentru un viitor mai bun - Psihoterapie pentru tinerii din centre de plasament Ready for a better future – Psychotherapy for institutionalized teenagers

9 Institutionalized children had the constant benefit of psychotherapy sessions during January-May 2021. Access to therapy is a key support for children and teenagers from foster homes, in order to heal their past, to continue school, build healthy relations, have confidence to get a job and make a life, thus becoming self reliant adults. After 5 months of psychotherapy, important changes can already be observed: a better understanding of emotions, the management of emotions and patience, the decrease of crises cause by anger and the increase of self-esteem by identifying qualities and inner resources.

Feedback from a psychotherapist:

"M. has become more motivated at school and he wants to learn how to read and write. He has made a personal diary in which he writes daily (“I can’t write correctly or beautifully, but I do write”). He is making plans for the future and he’s excited about the courses he recently enrolled in." (about M.-12 years old)
