Counseling
Counseling is a professional process in which a person, with the support of a counselor, explores their own thoughts, feelings, and behaviors, and develops new ways of coping with challenges. The goal of counseling is to empower the individual to actively solve problems and improve their quality of life.
In our counseling center we offer counseling services for young people (18–30 years old) and for parents. Participation is possible throughout the year through the My Strengths and Empowered projects. The availability of appointments depends on financial support and capacity, so sometimes participation is not immediately possible.
Participation is free of charge – either with a referral from the Croatian Social Work Institute or on a voluntary basis, depending on available places and capacity. Sessions take place at the Amazonas education and counseling center (Travanjska 14, Vrbani) or at the premises of the Local Committee Park Stara Trešnjevka.
