Ċentru Enrichetta

Ċentru Enrichetta used to be a satellite family services site based in the locality of Birżebbuġa, a harbour town in the South-Eastern region of Malta. The services offered at the Centre responded to the identified needs of vulnerable individuals and families in this community of over 11,000 with a growing multi-cultural base.
Family-support actions include community social work, home-based family consultations for relatives who care for a chronically mentally ill family member, and family learning support including courses for parents of struggling learners, and struggling learners themselves. During the year, the team supports single parent households, families facing complex problems, frail elderly who feel lonely and on the periphery of the community, families sliding into poverty, persons with low basic skills, and families with one or more members with chronic, undiagnosed and untreated mental illnesses or who are non-compliant with prescribed medication.
Ċentru Enrichetta opened on Mondays, Tuesdays and Wednesdays each week with a team of two Social Workers taking turns each day and a Family Learning Support specialist. The Foundation’s Psychiatric Nurse undertook home visits with Social Workers whenever a family consultation became necessary. The team worked closely with the parish volunteer support service team and collaborated with the regional LEAP Centre based in Ħal Kirkop.
