The La Victoria de Acentejo City Council has launched ‘Pequeñas Victorias’, a new comprehensive early intervention service aimed at children aged 0 to 6 years and their families, which includes child and adolescent psychological care.

This project, funded by the Corresponsables plan from the Government of Spain, seeks to guarantee the development, well-being, and emotional health of the municipality's minors with needs related to communication, behavior, or autonomy. Mayor Juan Antonio García Abreu highlighted that this is the first step towards establishing a local early intervention unit, following the presentation of the project and the allocation of land to the Government of the Canary Islands and the Cabildo of Tenerife.
García Abreu added that the City Council continuously works to provide essential tools for families to feel supported. For her part, the Councilor for Social Welfare, Sonia Gutiérrez, detailed that the program has a multidisciplinary team covering areas such as speech therapy, psychology, and pedagogy, ensuring an accessible service with flexible hours and individualized attention.
The ‘Pequeñas Victorias’ service will begin operating in late September. Interested families can contact the Social Welfare department of the City Council via email at [bienestarsocial@lavictoriadeacentejo.es](mailto:bienestarsocial@lavictoriadeacentejo.es) or by calling 922 582 002.
The main objective of the project is to provide professional, close, and individualized support to minors with specific needs in their development, communication, emotional well-being, behavior, or autonomy, reaffirming the municipal commitment to the comprehensive care of citizens.
