Family Support

FAMILY SUPPORT

The Family Support Services exist since 2008 and provide support to individuals/families at risk of exclusion and/or social vulnerability through the social service office, the resource bank and the psychology office.

Rosto Solidário is part of the Council’s Social Network and of the Local Council for Social Action (CLAS), whose purpose is to promote partnership work focusing on the strategic planning of local social intervention. It also integrates the Social Forum of the Parish Union of Santa Maria da Feira, Travanca, Sanfins and Espargo, an innovative instrument that seeks shared solutions with the community to local problems.

The services promoted by this area of intervention aim to contribute to reducing situations of deprivation and improving the living conditions of individuals/families towards social inclusion.

They seek to develop integrated and multisectoral interventions to correspond to the multidimensional and increasingly complex nature of the phenomena of poverty and social exclusion, work in partnership, cooperation and sharing of responsibilities with the municipality’s Social Network.

In 2015 and 2019, Rosto Solidário was awarded with the local solidário prize, in the category of Community Support, under the II and VI Mosaico Social promoted by the Municipality of Santa Maria da Feira, in partnership with ADRITEM – Association for Integrated Rural Development of Terras de Santa Maria.

SOCIAL SERVICE OFFICE

The social service office aims to identify, direct and support situations of risk, vulnerability and/or social exclusion.

It receives individuals/families forwarded by social solidarity institutions and other entities, and also those who, on their own initiative, wish to seek support, guidance and social referral.

The appointments must be scheduled in advance, by telephone or email to the following contacts:

Phone. 256 336 001
Mobile. 929 173 288
Email. servicosocial@rostosolidario.pt

PSICOLOGY DEPARTMENT

The psychology department provides psychological counselling for children and youth.
It aims to develop skills that enable children/young people to recognise their emotions and thoughts so that they are able to manage and self-regulate their behaviour.

It receives children/young people referred by social solidarity institutions and other entities, and also those who, on the initiative of their parents/legal guardians, request psychological support.

The consultation of psychology is free of charge, so all situations deserve a first evaluation by the social service office, about the socio-economic situation of the family household.
