What is the therapeutic and educational school for adolescents and young people?
Amalgama7 is an institution that was designed and coordinated in partnership with the public administration. Since 1997, it has specialised in providing care for adolescents, young people and their families.
We have developed a therapeutic model and our own healthcare network, made up of outpatient, day and residential centres located in different autonomous communities.
The therapeutic schools are at the same time a hospital, a school, a holiday camp and a residence for adolescents, designed to provide those admitted the opportunity to continue their regulated studies (compulsory and post-compulsory).
The Can Ros therapeutic school is located near the city of Tarragona, in a rural estate of more than 1000 hectares. It also includes a constructed area of more than 3,500m2 dedicated to therapeutic and educational purposes, and planned extracurricular, cultural and leisure activities.
A space designed to provide therapy, education, sports and care for families whilst surrounded by a wonderful natural environment.

To our endender, teenagers who live their adolescence from the slogan: “I see it, I want it, I have it” will be especially susceptible to attention. Those that between the concepts of “having” or “being” opt systematically for “having”. Those that manifest a low performance of their main activity (academic) and that at the same time make a risky use of their free time and their “pocket” money. Those that present disorders from the biopsychological perspective (medical and / or psychopathological) and / or family risk behaviors (disobedience, irritability, isolation, etc.) and / or school (disobedience, poor performance, absenteeism, etc.) and / or social (compulsive purchases, thefts, sale of illegal substances and others, etc.) and / or legal (complaints, detentions, trials, convictions, etc.).
