Description

For more than 10 years of existence, our social facility has been contacted several times by many women in distress (abused, without any place for living, being unable to take care of their own family), with one, two or even three children and looking for help in the Halfway house – shelter. For the social workers it is always very difficult not to accept somebody in crisis because of full capacity. Sometimes the only thing that can be done is to separate mothers from their children and place the children in children´s houses. This is the main reason why the Lutheran Deacon Centre (SED) have decided after so many years to create a Crisis Centre for mothers with children. The objective of the project is to create space/facility/ with the capacity of 15 places that will provide housing for vulnerable and abused mothers (5 family cells) where the clients could live to be able to overcome the consequences of the abuse and to change their own life in the future. The project is targets women who are victims of partner violence, or any other form of abuse. The immediate provision of space for existence solves their unfavourable situation. It allows them to stand away from the circle of the violence they have experienced and create secure life for them and their children. By implementation of this project they may experience a safe place thanks to which their negative experiences can be a bit mitigated.
