Technical Notebooks 01 and 02 - Autonomy: Childhood, Youth, and Family

In the year it celebrates its 521st anniversary, the Misericórdia de Lisboa, through its Editorial Center, is proud to present the Technical Notebooks collection of the Santa Casa da Misericórdia de Lisboa. 
"With them, we bet on the sharing of knowledge and experience of those who, inside or outside this institution, put their vocation and knowledge at the service of the 'other'."

This notebook aims to share how the Directorate of Childhood, Youth, and Family (DIIJF) reflects and intervenes in the promotion of autonomy, which is a central axis of all its actions.
In the first article, prepared by the CARE Team (Qualification and Reconfiguration Project of the SCML's shelter homes), it is presented how autonomy is promoted in the multiple areas of intervention of the DIIJF, as well as the evidence of its importance in the entire strategy to be implemented, broken down into transformative responses aimed at breaking transgenerational cycles of dependency.
