Charlotte Kolff is a seasoned professional in the field of child and family psychotherapy, with over three decades of experience that culminated in her current role as the founder of Foundation PIP (Stichting PIP). Since transitioning from her private practice in 2007, Charlotte has dedicated her expertise to addressing the complex needs of street children and their caregivers. Her extensive background in psychotherapy informs her innovative approach to training local facilitators within street child organizations, where she has developed a comprehensive methodology aimed at enhancing the social and emotional support provided to these vulnerable populations.
At Foundation PIP, Charlotte leads key projects that focus on equipping local caregivers with the necessary skills to effectively support street children. Through tailored training programs, she emphasizes the importance of psychosocial development, ensuring that facilitators are not only knowledgeable but also capable of fostering a nurturing environment for the children they serve. Collaborating with a Dutch colleague, Charlotte conducts these training sessions with a dual objective: to empower caregivers to become proficient in their roles and to enable them to train their peers, thereby creating a sustainable impact within their communities.
Charlotte's unique skill set includes the customization of training programs that address specific psychosocial challenges, as well as coaching and mentoring from a kaleidoscopic perspective that considers the diverse backgrounds and experiences of both caregivers and children. Her commitment to professional development and her innovative methodologies have positioned Foundation PIP as a leader in the field, making significant strides in improving the lives of street children and fostering resilience among their caregivers.
