In the city of Kyustendil, a modern Center for Specialized Health and Social Support was officially opened, focusing on children with high-risk behavior. During the ceremony, the Deputy Minister of Health emphasized the uniqueness of the project, describing it as the first of its kind on a national scale.
The institution will provide comprehensive consultative and therapeutic assistance not only to children but also to their families and professionals. The key message of the experts is understanding that high-risk behavior does not mean "bad children", but children who need special care and understanding.
Dobromira Kareva highlighted a fundamentally new model of interaction between the health and social systems. The Center represents a shared professional commitment with a clear focus on individual psycho-social support, implemented by a highly qualified expert team.
"Our seventh house is different in the scale of its vision and professional capacity," said the Deputy Minister. The main goal is to provide a stable environment for children who have experienced serious challenges, giving them a real chance for full development and recovery.
The institution will work with children whose behavior potentially threatens their personal safety and health, as well as the well-being of others. Through an individual approach, specialists will strive to help young people overcome their difficulties and find a positive path in life.
The new center symbolizes a modern humane approach to caring for the most vulnerable members of society – children who need special attention and support.
