The project aimed to develop, launch, and evaluate a new social support programme for families with children with functional disabilities. To reach this goal, the Riga City Council Welfare Department conducted a research study to assess these families’ needs.  Following a comprehensive needs assessment conducted in 2020-2021, a social support programme was designed in collaboration with social service providers and parents of children with functional disabilities and piloted in April 2021. This pilot programme served 22 families with children experiencing functional disabilities. After a successful 12-month implementation period, the programme's impact was evaluated using both qualitative (semi-structured interviews with social service providers and parents) and quantitative data (surveys of families and support professionals). Positive outcomes for participating families led to the programme's adoption as a regular social rehabilitation programme within the Riga municipality.
