Time frame: May 2015 – March 2016

Through this project the “Kids with Developmental Problems” Foundation offers informed support for the birth of a second child in families with children with disabilities, as well as a balanced approach to raising children in a healthy family environment. The project presents an analytical report on the issue and a platform for information and mutual support on the topic of giving birth to a second child. A pilot group of parents were trained to become ambassadors of the project and to help others who have questions, hesitations or just need to share and be understood.

The project duration was 10 months and aimed to initiate a public debate on the issue among all stakeholders – parents, NGOs, professionals, institutions at the local and state level, and media.
