Professional consultations with psychologists or therapists
It is possible to use paid services of psychologists for expert consultations. Some psychologists or therapists have contracts with health insurance companies, which contribute to them.
For more detailed information contact your health insurance company.

Domestic Violence
Violence in a close relationship is not a private matter. It can be difficult to stop when you are facing it alone.
It often starts subtly:
- feeling afraid or anxious in the relationship,
- intense jealousy,
- restricting contact with friends and family,
- acceptance of violence,
- excessive control,
- restricting access to money.
Does this affect you or someone you know? Ask for help.
Counselling services are free of charge. Some services require you to arrange your own interpreting.
Free interpreting services are provided by us, the Organization for Aid to Refugees, the Brno City Municipality and Caritas Brno.
Please always check availability in advance.
