Psychosocial support for families

We offer support to families of pediatric patients. This primarily concerns children with rare diseases, severe disabilities, serious illnesses, or those born prematurely or with low or extremely low birth weight. We guide them not only through the initial phases of adjusting to the new reality but also throughout their entire hospital stay. Support is also available after discharge to home care, during visits to the Guidance Center, or during later hospitalizations.
