 The following activities were organized and realized during the project:

  • Practical Training Seminars for parents: “Your Life is in Your Hands”, where the participants were able to strengthen their personal psychological stability and acquire skills to build healthy relationships within the family, as well as becoming socially responsible and socially active. This seminar involved 102 participants in 8 groups.
  • Seminar: “The Healthy Way of Life as a Lifestyle”. The participants created a personal development plan which they now actively implement in their lives. This seminar involved 25 participants.
  • Individual Consultations: 200 individual consultations for the project participants.

The results:

  • More than 200 participants have acquired practical skills and self-help methods to overcome difficulties, to believe in themselves and to find the power and the will to improve their quality of life.
  • In addition to the above mentioned project activities, the active involvement of the participants has also led to the establishment of new undertakings, such as a “Psychology Club”, a Psychotherapy Group, new seminars and the development of new project initiatives.
  • Many of the project participants are now involved with the new activities of the Psychological Consultation Center “INTENCE”, voluntarily helping in organization, development and popularization of those activities.
  • The booklet “The Healthy Way of Life as a Lifestyle” was developed and published as a reminder for those who actively seek to make their lives healthier, happier and more harmonious.

The project was being implemented by NGO “Psychological Consultation Center “INTENCE”” in cooperation with Daugavpils City Council – Department of Education and Department of Social Affairs, and Daugavpils Rural Amalgamated Council – Department of Education and Department of Social Services.

In light of the positive feedback from project participants, it is now obvious, that good work has been done and that this work definitely needs to be continued!
