The overall goal
of SPA is to set ambitious targets to contribute to improving the quality of
life of young people. This objective
will be accomplished by the implementation of empirically tested intervention
programmes aimed to increase the knowledge of young people by assisting them
through the process of change. SPA
offers both short and long term therapeutic intervention to meet the needs of
the individual.
An integral part
of SPA philosophy is to work passionately and energetically to foster and
maximise the potential that young people possess so that they can live
harmoniously within today’s society. The
therapeutic care offered by SPA focuses on many difficulties that young people
experience including:
