beprofi Online training platform
Our mission is to increase the competence of employees and develop the capacity of organizations in the field of child welfare to ensure the safety, stability and well-being of children in families.
During the full-scale invasion of russia in Ukraine, the need for social services has increased. Workers need to be competent and organizations need to be able to help clients, especially families with children. Therefore, it is necessary to increase the capacity of organizations and professionals.
Accessibility to training varies for employees – those who work in large cities have more opportunities to learn than those who live and work in small towns or villages. The BeProfi online training platform is our response to the need for accessible professional training.
All the necessary competencies for effective work are on one platform.

Sure Start: working in centers with families with children
Supporting families raising children under the age of 3 (6) is a direct prevention of children being placed in institutional care. This is the goal of the Sure Start program, which has been implemented in Europe for more than 17 years and has proven its effectiveness in supporting families raising young children. The course aims to form and develop the professional competencies of specialists who provide support to children aged 0 to 3 years living in families at risk or families in difficult life circumstances, increase parental capacity, and establish interdisciplinary cooperation between community actors to ensure the best interests of each child.
From risk to sustainability: working with families in crisis
The safety, well-being and stability of the child is of primary importance. Therefore, it is important for professionals working with children and families to be trained to identify families in which children are at risk of harm or injury as a result of the actions or inactions of their parents or guardians. This course builds an understanding of the causes of family crisis, the difference between crisis and difficult life circumstances, and helps to identify opportunities to support families according to their needs.
