What we do
Our main job is to provide social and legal protection to a child in situations of conflict between parents. The aim is to ensure that the child has the right to both parents (provided by the Convention on the Rights of the Child) and to enable him or her to form and develop a relationship with each of them, even when his or her parents are divorcing or harming each other.
In the families of our clients
- We support adults (parents) in their ability to create (physical and mental) environments that will enable the child to healthy development. We help adults, in the interests of each of their children, to develop a relationship between themselves as parents - they remain parents, even if they split up or broke up as partners.
- We provide children with safety and with the possibility of re-establishing a relationship with each of their parents for as long as these parents are not able to manage it with their own strength (e.g. it is not possible for them to meet without a conflict or to handover children between themselves).
We provide activities within the entire Prague scope

- Our workplace in Prague's Bubeneč includes a fully-equipped playroom for assisted contacts and a room for consultations and supportive self-experience groups, or for organizing workshops and seminars.
