"Pearl" for graduates of orphanages who find themselves in a difficult life situation

Having left the walls of orphanages, girls are often not ready for an independent life. Everything was clear in the orphanage: the regime, friends, educators and teachers. Every day is like the previous one and there is no opportunity to take the initiative. In adulthood, with no support from the outside, a graduate needs to get an education, get a job, learn how to solve everyday issues, while not succumb to temptation, but try to build a full-fledged relationship. Unfortunately, without the support of loved ones, not every girl goes through this difficult period of formation. Someone spends all the money that was accumulated during their stay in an orphanage, someone loses their job, many give birth to children and do not understand how to live on.

The program “Pearl” includes depressed, insecure women with young children who need the help of a psychologist, lawyer, social worker and also, simple human participation. The program accords to the “Pyramid of Life” model of comprehensive personal development and assumes a consistent solution to family problems: from filling basic needs to self-actualization.

Every year 35 and more families (80 and more children) take part in the program and for all the years of work in the practice of "Harbor" there has not been a single case of repeated orphanhood - when a mother, having gained experience of living in an orphanage, transfers her child to an orphanage ...

“Ten knots” adapts boys and girls immediately after graduation from an orphanage or shelter

Ten knots is a system of complex adaptation of boys and girls 18-23 years old to independent life after graduation from an orphanage or shelter.

How does this happen? For 1-3 years after graduation, children live with mentors in an environment as close as possible to a family. Mentors show a model of adult behavior, a responsible person and help program participants develop skills necessary for independent life and interaction with others.

Mentors help children plan goals, choose an educational institution, find their first job, support them in development, control the educational process, help them gain a foothold in their work, and achieve their first professional successes.
Participants of the program undergo mandatory psychological counseling on specific issues faced by children from orphanages and dysfunctional families. The guys take part in conversations on the topics of morality, ethics, purpose and meaning of life.
Since 2001, more than 200 people have completed a course of social adaptation on the basis of the Pristan Residential Program. 90% of the graduates of the program have successfully adapted to an independent life: they have received an education, have created families, have a stable job and do not have alcohol or drug addiction.

Recruitment is conducted all year round.
The maximum number of program participants is 12-14 people.
Mandatory condition for participation in the adaptation program: passing an interview and signing a contract.

“More than a sport” — it is a sports mentoring program for orphans

More than a sport, it is a sport mentoring program for orphans. It is aimed at the social adaptation of children through sports and the promotion of a healthy lifestyle.

In 2018, the program appeared as a joint initiative of Pristan and the Dobryaki amateur football club. At first, the guys took part only in football training and competitions. Today, the program includes training sessions in football, volleyball and fencing. The mentors of the children are amateur and professional athletes. They regularly hold sports tournaments, football matches, and organize friendly meetings with corporate teams of commercial companies.

During the year, more than 200 events are held in various social institutions of St. Petersburg within the framework of the program.

In 2019, the program manager developed another important area of work with adolescents - children from orphanages. This is a training course on sobriety on fingers about the dangers of using alcohol, drugs and psychotropic drugs. The course consists of ten meetings, at which children study the effect of psychotropic drugs on the body, looking for ways to stop using alcohol and drugs.

In the creative center, pupils and graduates of orphanages reveal their potential, communicate and acquire the skills of meaningful activity

The creative center is a platform for communication and disclosure of the personal potential of pupils and graduates of orphanages. Here, children get important social and everyday skills (communication, creativity, skills of meaningful activity), and also learn about different professions. Training and career guidance are two key areas around which the work of the creative center is built.

Children realize their ideas in craft workshops: a hairdresser's, a culinary business, a photography studio, a carpentry workshop, pottery, calligraphy, linocut, batik, a sewing workshop, the basics of computer literacy, "Imaginarium".

In the classroom at the center, children:

learn patience, constancy and consistency in any of their undertakings;
realize their creative abilities, come up with their own projects, show their skills, which they learned in the workshops
get basic knowledge and skills in various areas of craft activities, which can help determine the choice of a future profession.
