What we do
The Association has a young and dynamic team, being composed mainly of health and education professionals. Aiming to develop the skills necessary to achieve a successful life, we develop activities such as:
Diagnosis and Intervention

Psychological Support, Vocational Guidance, Speech Therapy and Physiotherapy
Financial difficulties in accessing private services of Psychology, Speech Therapy and Physiotherapy is growing every day, and the public responses are not sufficient for the demand. We intend to provide these services at an affordable price.
The restrictions recently imposed on the free transportation of persons with mobility restrictions led to a high number of dropouts in physiotherapy treatments. To minimize this impact in the municipality of Cascais, Vida+Viva provides a physiotherapy service in domicile, with the main objective to prevent, minimize and treat various disorders of the patient, giving them better quality of life.

Activities for senior people
Nowadays, quality ageing, prolonging the autonomy and independence for as long as possible is a challenge to individual and collective responsibility. Aware of this and in order to meet this need Vida+Viva carries out activities that are organized around the following objectives:
- Promote quality of life of seniors and their rights of citizenship;
- Create appropriate responses to their changing needs;
- Encourage the active participation of people in promoting their own health, autonomy and independence as well as in society in general and communities;
- To combat the isolation and social exclusion.
