Ivan Pavlov

Sofia Programme Director

My professional experience is in the field of direct psychosocial work with children and their families. I have managed the Child Protection Department of the Social Protection Directorate for nine years. For a short period of time I worked as director of the social institution Asen Zlatarov. I graduated in psychology and I have additional qualifications as systemic family consultant. I have experience related to counseling to children, families and clients with psychological issues. For many years I have held trainings for prospective adoptive parents, foster families and professionals working with children and families.

Personally, I am married with two wonderful daughters. I am a happy owner of emotional English Cocker.

My personal motto is: "Who wants something, finds the way. Who does not want something, finds excuses! "

The thing nobody knows about me is that maybe there is no such thing.

I work for For Our Children Foundation because the philosophy and the methodology for work with children and families of the Foundation meets my personal and professional standards, which makes me feel in the right place.
