Description
The aim of the project is to launch an Emotional Support Point in the City of Toruń for adults in crisis, which will provide them with immediate, free diagnostics, therapeutic help and counselling. We will support 50 people with problems that have increased as a result of the Covid-19 pandemic, such as domestic violence, conflicts in partner relationships, divorce, addiction, codependency and depression. The Polish Society for the Prevention of Drug Abuse ran an Environmental Prevention Counselling Centre in Toruń for 26 years. In 2021, due to a lack of funding, the Centre was closed down and its beneficiaries were left without help. The newly established Osnova-Toruń Association is not yet in a position to create an equivalent Counselling Centre on its own. Therefore, this project is an intervention aimed at people in need of support, experiencing various forms of violence and trauma, including those stigmatised in their communities. As part of the project we will conduct 2 empowerment workshops for 20 people and 3 open lectures on violence and its prevention for min. 90 people. Partners in the project are the Studio M6 Foundation and the Local Action Group ''For the City of Toruń''.
