Processing and healing
During your stay, we offer therapeutic support, body-based therapy, and individual and group therapy, giving you space to work through the violence you have experienced.
Children
We also support children in expressing and processing their experiences through conversations, age-appropriate therapy, and activities that create safety and make everyday life easier for both children and young people.
Aftercare and network
We help you rebuild a support network after your stay at the crisis centre through cooperation with organisations such as Mødrehjælpen, Q-net, Kvindehuset, and Gaia’s reunion café, ensuring you have support both during and after your stay.
Support with public authorities
We assist you in dealing with public authorities—for example, understanding and responding to emails, and maintaining contact with relevant institutions such as the Family Court, the municipality, and others.
