Rehabilitation centre for children opens in Arboleas

    A specialised centre which takes in children who have been violent towards their parents or have been convicted of robbery has opened in the outskirts of Arboleas. The centre, now in its third month of operation, takes in youngsters between 14 and 17 years old, with eight young people being accompanied by fourteen monitors. The team works with the children, carrying out therapies treating such issues as impulse control, social skills or substance abuse. The centre's director, Paqui Bernabe, said that the centre worked like a big family in which the children can learn respect and how to live in a group.
