Casa Depuoz

Casa Depuoz is a Swiss competence centre for people with additional support needs, serving the community since 1976. Based in Trun and active in nearby locations, it supports children, young people and adults according to their individual strengths and needs. Its approach to inclusion helps people learn, live, work and develop alongside others.

For children and young people, Casa Depuoz provides special education, school social work, career-choice support, preparation for training and vocational programmes. It also offers supported accommodation during education and job coaching after training. Adults can access supported living, daily activities, workplace support and guidance to live independently at home. The organisation also assists unaccompanied underage refugees with care and integration, and provides vocational integration support to people who can no longer continue in their chosen profession.

Additional family and community services include social-pedagogical family support, accompanied visits and help arranging foster care. Casa Depuoz also welcomes the public to its indoor swimming pool and sells firewood prepared on site by residents.
