Let's talk about Quality of Life and Human Potential!
There is no doubt that one of the success factors for Quality of Life resides in human potential - in their qualities, knowledge and interests - and it is pertinent to create contexts that are favorable to its exploration and development, in a path that is never immediate, but in a medium/long term.
The Project aims to create a supportive environment for families to enjoy conditions that allow them to fill immediate needs and progress in their quality of life, creating possibilities for the development of human potential, personal and professional fulfilment. Considering each Family as the main agent of its own development, the role of mentor is essential to the success of the program.
