PRECISION 2 builds on the project PRECISION (2020 – 2022), which focused on the rehabilitation of minors and young people deprived of their freedom, in order to give them a chance in life. Based on the previous project results, PRECISION 2 was drafted to continue to offer Children and Youth deprived of liberty in Romania the necessary support aimed at decreasing recidivism and successful rehabilitation in society.

Objectives:

  • Children and young people deprived of liberty will develop resilience capacities (internal emotional self-regulation capacities, feelings of connectedness to their community, reduced perceived vulnerabilities), which will enable them to deal with and transform the shocks in their life.
  • Children and youth deprived of liberty will have skills, capacities and resources which contribute to valued roles, strengthening self-efficacy and improved livelihood.
  • increased meaningful protective networks will be achieved, which empower children and youth to increase their resilience while in detention.

Target groups:

  • Direct: At least 250 children and youth deprived of liberty in 4 detention centres will participate in and benefit from the new holistic proposed model based on Terre des hommes’ Mental Health and Psychosocial Support (MHPSS) intervention to enhance children and young persons’ Psychosocial Resilience and Wellbeing. In addition, approximately 80 justice professionals will increase their knowledge about child-centred justice and how to implement child-friendly work practices.
  • Indirect: Approximately 600 children and young people deprived of liberty – Any child or youth who enters and stays in the detention system will benefit from the holistic model.

Duration of implementation: March 2023 – February 2025

The project is implemented with solid support from the National Administration of Penitentiaries and the four Educational and Detention Centres in Romania:

  • Craiova Detention Centre (South-West)
  • Brăila Tichilesti Detention Centre (East)
  • Târgu Ocna Educational Centre (North-East)
