After an initial period of observation (around three months), aimed at getting to know one another (structural), staff make an initial valuation of the client's problems: such an evaluation forms the basis for the appropriate program for the individual, bearing in mind the particular needs of each case, their difficulties and their abilities, as well as setting out the personalized objectives to be pursued. The objectives are revisited every six months in the course of the community stay and are discussed and verified at periodic meetings with the appropriate authorities.

From the point of view of the time line, the educational and / or rehabilitative/therapeutic program takes the following shape:

- Pre-reception

- Initial stage of stay or reception

- Substantive stay

- Final stage, which is intended to promote the process of leaving the community and preparation for reintegration with the family, where possible, or to form alternative arrangements, as indicated by the relevant authorities.

The methodology generally foresees the construction of an educational project and / or rehabilitation/therapy which is personalized and has the possibility of:

a. A structure to the day
b. Matrix of relationships
c. Opportunity for new stimuli and life experiences
d. Educational tools
e. Psychological/psychotherapeutic discussions
f. Rehabilitation techniques
g. Psychopharmological therapy
h. Networks
