SKUPAJ (TOGETHER) - Regional Centre for the Psychosocial Well-being of Children
By founding the Centre, Slovenia wants to contribute its share to
the psychosocial well-being and improving the mental health of
children affected by armed conflict in the SEE region. We are thus
developing expert and social concepts that link psychosocial
well-being of the individual to social recovery and
development. Slovenia believes that social reconciliation in the
region depends on the psychosocial profile of the young
generations. We wish thus to offer our expert knowledge and experience
in the area of child mental health, our familiarity with the
conditions, cultures and traditions of the region, as well as to unite
the international resources of the international community for the
well-being of children..
The Centre will take care of improving links between people and
organisations that are active in the area of psychosocial assistance,
as well as also collecting funds for the development or implementation
of programmes in the region, for better taking into account the needs
of the region, together with the active inclusion of local communities
in the programme. The activities of the centre are intended to
contribute to achieving more effective assistance to traumatised
children in the region, to providing better conditions for the
psychosocial development of children after cessation of armed conflict
and in associated social crises, and thus to contribute to human
security and the stability of the region.
The Centre operates on the basis of ten years of experience of
Slovene philanthropy in the area of psychosocial assistance in the SEE
region. The network of cooperation that Slovene philanthropy has
developed over the years in the SEE region will be used for
implementing activities (especially centres within the network
"Networks for Social Reconstruction in Former Yugoslavia").
