Empower your professional journey

Learn, grow, succeed

Since 2020, the SOLID project has become a cornerstone in the fields of social work, psychoactive substance treatment, and corrections, building a robust foundation of knowledge and expertise. Initially focused on in-person exchanges, the time has come to broaden our reach.

Our goal is to make our repository of insights, methodologies, and best practices accessible to all. We are committed to promotion of evidence-based practices in social work, bolstering the efforts and advocacy of NGOs, and enriching academic resources for future professionals.
