The Disease that Emerged
Adolescents in a Supervised and Transitional Home, UNICEF-supported Complex of services for children in conflict with the law in Sliven.
One boy is in the Supervised Home, the other in the Transitional Home.
Both of them are supported by the Complex of services for children in conflict with the law. The UNICEF-supported service helps them to get back to school, to overcome emotional traumas, to socialize and to gain practical skills that would be useful for them to make a living (since both of them are on the verge of adulthood 16 y.o. and 18 y.o and want to find decent jobs in the field of constructions).
