Technical Support Centre (TSC)
|
 |
| |
JUCONI believes in sharing its experience and successful practices with other
civil society organizations and government agencies in order to contribute to
the general improvement of services for street-involved and other excluded
children, both in Mexico and world-wide. JUCONI’s Technical Support Centre
(formerly known as the Training and Advisory Centre) was founded for this
purpose.
Established in 2001, the TSC is a resource and support centre for those working
with excluded and vulnerable children and their families. It makes available the
educative-therapeutic methodologies developed through JUCONI’s extensive
experience working with street-involved children and families in Mexico and
Ecuador, with continual input from international experts in related fields. In
2003, in collaboration with ChildHope UK, the TSC was given financial support by
the European Commission in order to develop its services and increase the scale
of its work with other organizations and its advocacy of more effective methods
for working with excluded and vulnerable children and families.
The Technical Support Centre operates in four main areas.
|
| |
Methodology Development Programme
|
|
| |
Educative-therapeutic methodology is developed through
use in the JUCONI programmes providing the children and families in those
programmes with the best service possible; methods, techniques and tools are
evaluated, adapted and systematized so they can be learned and used by new
workers in JUCONI and transmitted to others outside JUCONI.
|
| |
Methodology Information Services
|
|
| |
Information is available for workers in our field about the drastic effects of
trauma and attachment disorders on excluded and vulnerable children, and about
the educative-therapeutic methodology, tools and materials that can help
children heal and be able to participate fully in society; other areas of
information available include, systematization and evaluation.
|
| |
Technical Support Services (TSS)
|
|
| |
Available to NGOs and government institutions, in Mexico
and internationally, these services include fully designed but adaptable
programmes on personalized educative-therapeutic work with children, working
with families, working with children in residential environments, evaluation,
and also seminars, consultancy, etc. on request.
|
| |
Advocacy of Effective Practice
|
|
| |
In addition to promoting children’s rights in general,
this advocacy is aimed at getting NGOs working with excluded and vulnerable
children, and relevant government departments, funding agencies, etc., to
recognize the need for educative-therapeutic work in programmes for such
children in order to attend to trauma and attachment disorders, as well as the
need for reliable evaluation of programmes.
