Social support initiatives launched in Međimurje region

New community programs have been introduced in the Međimurje region of Croatia to support families and child development.

In Pribislavac, the MURID Center for Early Childhood Intervention, in partnership with the Čakovec Health Center, launched a European project aimed at providing early support to children and parents at social risk. Running until August 2029, the initiative specifically addresses the increased risk of developmental intervention delays among Roma children. The project intends to serve at least 75 children and 30 caregivers through over 3,000 services, including professional assessments and the ‘Support through Play’ program.

Additionally, the Magro Children's Center in Sračinec will host a free educational event titled ‘Love and Support – Growing Together’ on November 14, 2026. Organized in collaboration with the MUDRE Association, the session focuses on the postpartum period. A multidisciplinary team of experts, including gynecologists, pediatricians, physiotherapists, and speech therapists, will provide guidance on postpartum recovery, newborn care, and the challenges faced by families during this transition.
