The target group of the project and the direct beneficiaries are children with severe and permanent mental and behavioral disorders, who have been diagnosed with a mental disorder, as a result of which children are unable to cope with schooling and daily life. The age group of the project is a child aged 12-18.
The target groups of the project are also: a) network members who could be interested in the development of milieu therapy homes or service (local governments, substitute homes, NGOs in the field, school- homes); (b) the local community, which is to be involved in the development of the milieu therapy home in Peedu with the aim to reduce ignorance, unfounded fear and prejudice towards the main target group (children); (c) the NGOs team whose knowledge and competence are being enhanced. During the project, information days, trainings, mutual study trips will be organized, the website of Peedu Milieu Therapy Center will be created and a book on milieu therapy will be translated from Norwegian into Estonian.
