The expert named an algorithm of actions for families in a crisis situation.
Families who are on the verge of temporarily placing a child in an orphanage should first find organizations that can help them and deter them from this step. Svetlana Stroganova, Program Director of the Our Children Foundation, said this in an interview with Izvestia.
According to her, situations when children are temporarily placed in a boarding school are not always justified. Although it all depends on the situation.
If serious problems arise, she advises taking several measures: first, look for charitable foundations to help families with children who work in the region; secondly, find family and child care centers - sometimes they have services for accommodating children with their parents; thirdly, find free social, psychological and online legal assistance; fourth, ask for advice from the guardianship authorities, explaining that you don't want to be separated from your child at all.
"Believe me, the guardianship authorities themselves are interested in keeping children in families, this is one of their KPIs (key performance indicators. — Ed.). If parents have a desire to keep their children in the family, help can be found," the source said.
