INSTITUTO ALGARVE PROJECTO REABILITAÇÃO SOCIAL

The IAPRS is an organization created to develop and promote social cohesion and inclusion, and harmony within the family; and to carry out activities aimed at supporting children and young people and their families. It is aimed at assessing and giving support to young people with socially conflicting behavior, with a view to helping them to develop a sense of self and reintegrating them within the society and the community.
The institute seeks to implement programs aimed at confronting the social, psychological and pedagogical conflicts which young people suffer.
Our work is subject to scientific research studies in the area of sociology and education, mainly studies and projects on psychological and sociological research, studies on behavioral imbalance and instability caused by social factors.
We work to sensitize the public and improve social awareness in the community through active cooperation with organizations having similar or complementary aims.
We also work towards educating the community about the real problems experienced by young people and their families.
These are children and young people at risk, and owing to their history could present behaviors that are potentially delinquent.
These are young people whose families suffer from socio-economic problems, as well as emotional instabilities which may expose their children to maltreatment, neglect or sexual abuse.
They may also come from dysfunctional families with atypical social behavior, and whose way of life and past experiences make the possibility of group integration in the first phase impractical.
