FAMILYHOUSE PARTNERSHIP

Familyhouse Partnership is Save the Children association in Iisalmi, The Mannerheim League for child Welfare in Iisalmi and The Federation of Mother and Child Homes and Shelters in Upper-Savo companionship model.  Work started 2004 and it´s supported by Funding Centre for Social Welfare and Health Organisations (STEA)

A partnership between three local organisations, it operates in close collaboration with the Upper-Savo (Social and Healthcare) Joint Municipal Authority. The aim of the service is ”to work together with the child´s best” by offering accessible, easy to reach community and support services for children and families. The Familyhouse partnership service has been designed in response to local needs and is driven by a positive partnership between local civic organisations and the public sector.

The multidimensional networking model facilitates a consistent operating culture. Professional-led voluntary services are a significant resource, which allow services to be delivered to more children and families. Indeed, families and children are the focus of all activities at the centre. Each visit and each encounter is made meaningful. Genuine, unique, warm and positive human interaction amidst hectic everyday life is empowering and joyful. Families who access the service are gently challenged to take active responsibility for their own lives and encouraged to act autonomously.
