The project aimed to help kinship carers in Romania protect children from harm related to alcohol and substance abuse. It created awareness materials like posters and brochures on the dangers of drugs and alcohol. It also provided training to social workers on supporting kinship carers dealing with substance abuse issues. The training discussed identifying needs, distributing educational materials, and providing moral and financial support to kinship carers. Lessons learned included focusing on kinship carers and substance abuse risks, creating specific educational materials, and valuing international partnerships in supporting kinship families.
