woman and child

We take in children who have been removed from family environments that cannot provide a suitable growing context. Residential facilities also available for mothers in difficulties.

In addition to child protection, we support families and parents with promotion and prevention activities.

Activities and Services

Communities for Children, Mothers with Children and Families

The Institute's residential communities are characterised by family-like relationships, educators’ professionalism and the partnership with social services, judiciary, judicial police and local health authorities.  

Neutral Space Service

In collaboration with the Municipality of Florence, we offer a Neutral Space Service to protect the right to visit and relationships between children aged 0 to 6 and their non-cohabiting family members.
