Description

The importance of youth care today is evident in the Youth Advice Center on Korte Nieuwstraat. This is the reception center of the CAW. “Here, young people between 12 and 25 can get free advice on topics like relationships, jobs, school, loneliness …”

Orphanages no longer exist in Belgium. “On the site of the last girls' home in Albert Grisarstraat in Berchem, you now find housing, and a former boys' home in Durletstraat is now a city school. Today, the focus is primarily on foster care and home guidance. There are still child institutions where children in difficult home situations are taken care of and supported for short or longer periods.”

140 years after the closure of the foundling slide on Sint-Rochusstraat, the non-profit organization Mothers for Mothers established a new one on Helmstraat in Borgerhout. “It is the only slide in Belgium that is open day and night. The slide at the Foundling House received an average of 55 children per year. This one, 19 babies in 23 years.”
