JOB RESPONSIBILITIES

Being a support family means welcoming a child with a disability into your home. You allow the child to be part of your daily life while also giving time to meet the child's needs. Through this initiative, relatives or other close ones can be given relief and space for relaxation. The initiative can also meet the need for a change of environment and recreation, but also provide opportunities for the child's personal development.
