Target Group
Vulnerable populations who have not yet been able to commit to any facility, even though many have been through several existing resources of the social support network;
Most of them are in the streets or in process of becoming autonomous in their own homes and are looking for familiarity and a meeting place;
Namely:
The homeless
Drug users and alcohol consumers
Migrants
Sex workers
Users of É UMA CASA, Lisbon Housing First Project who are in te process of becoming autonomous
Our Mission
To support the most vulnerable and excluded populations with the aim of rehabilitating them in terms of their social skills and competences. This is achieved through the development of activities which are integrated in ‘structured’ programs and imply a constant participation of the person, or flexible programs whose attendance depends on the person’s motivation.
Our Aims
To support and promote the development of the personal appreciation by maximizing the user’s capabilities, with the intention of promoting personal autonomy and the development of skills which will allow a greater responsiveness in different contexts.
Preparing for an alternative life path and if possible towards specific treatment programs and social and professional (re)insertion.
Our Action
Espaço Âncora is a social solution open to the community and consists of a set of services available to the target population who need to be busy during the day.
It is imperative that conditions of trust be created and that the center is seen as a place of support, care and acquisition of skills. The beneficiaries are free to choose from a set of means, services and take advantage of them as long as they wish based on their personal needs and objectives.
This place relies on specialized technicians who implement activities with the target population.
An alternative space for socializing has been developed where the recreational activities are organized and implemented. This helps reinforce change within the target population, by discovering personal skills.
Guided activities promote the discovery of new interests and friendships with the purpose of acquiring social skills.
The Street Outreach Team supplement the support provided in Espaço Âncora.
