The Mother-Child facility was a shelter service dedicated to supporting vulnerable mother-child families, created with the aim of assisting mothers and their children facing social and family difficulties. Tahoma’s intervention, in collaboration with Social Services, aimed to understand and address the challenges experienced by the residents, providing a supportive environment that fostered the recovery of parenting skills and the development of autonomy for both mothers and their children.
The facility’s approach involved the application of specific strategies that supported the residents from the moment of admission throughout their stay, with a focus on daily life and interpersonal relationships. Mothers received guidance aimed at personal growth and the enhancement of their parenting abilities, with progress carefully monitored to ensure continuous improvement.
Assessment focused particularly on the quality of the mother-child relationship, taking into account the various factors that define this bond. Specific objectives included providing support, assistance, and care to help residents achieve renewed autonomy and well-being, enabling them to face and overcome the difficulties they had experienced.
