The BIDAIDE program is part of the youth strategy of the Provincial Council of Bizkaia and, specifically, operates as a day service aimed at supporting the emancipation processes of young people aged between 18 and 23 who are leaving the child protection system and lack stable adult reference figures.
The agreed program consists of a day service to address the social inclusion needs of young users of the Inclusion Service, offering them a set of technical, multipurpose services designed to prevent or alleviate social exclusion and to support their emancipation process through individualized accompaniment in their inclusion journey.
It provides the physical reference framework from which intervention with young people is channeled, ensuring that they receive the necessary technical services and supports based on their identified or diagnosed needs.
In this regard, the service is not conceived merely as a physical space where users must spend the day, but rather allows for interventions beyond the center itself and within their usual environment.
The day service develops intervention processes with young people living in the community, either independently or in other contexts.
Accordingly, the day service is not intended as a support structure for young people using residential services, except during the phase of disengagement from such services prior to their transition to independent living.
It falls within the youth care strategy of the Directorate-General for Social Inclusion, as outlined in Articles 46 and following of Provincial Decree 59/2019 of May 21, which regulates the procedure for specialized intervention in social inclusion.
The program offers the following technical services, always adapted to the individual needs of each participant:

• Social accompaniment

• Socio-educational and psychosocial intervention

• Mediation and liaison with the community, family, and cohabitation environment

• Job intermediation

• Progress evaluation

• Support for independent living processes through the provision of personal and domestic care services

With regard to the nature of its intervention, it adds value to public service provision by offering care that is:
a) personalized, adapting services and interventions both within and across services to each person’s needs and development
b) comprehensive, by combining different services and assuming a social accompaniment role that may span more than one public responsibility area
c) continuous, by anticipating evolving needs and innovating in responses

The program has been operating since May 2022 and offers a maximum of 25 places with low to medium support intensity.
