Sociální služby: Kde najít podporu pro psychické zdraví v ČR
When you're struggling with anxiety, depression, or relationship problems, sociální služby, veřejné služby poskytující podporu osobám v sociálně nebo zdravotně znevýhodněné situaci. Also known as sociální podpora, they can help you access therapy, financial aid, or daily living support when private care feels out of reach. Many people don’t realize these services exist—or think they’re only for the elderly or disabled. But if you’re dealing with chronic stress, trauma, or a mental health condition that affects your ability to work, study, or even leave the house, sociální služby are meant for you too.
These services often work hand-in-hand with psychoterapie, profesionální pomoc od kvalifikovaných terapeutů zaměřená na emocionální a chovatelské problémy.

In places like Blanský region, some centers even coordinate with schools and employers to make sure your needs are met across all areas of life. You don’t have to figure this out alone.
