Frequently asked questions

How quickly can I get help?▼

We try to see people in acute crisis as quickly as possible, outside the usual order - call us rather than booking a slot in the calendar. If life is in immediate danger, call 112.

Where can I find help outside the centre's opening hours?▼

Available 24 hours a day: the Support Centre for people in mental health crisis (Centrum Wsparcia) 800 70 2222, the helpline for adults 116 123 and the helpline for children and young people 116 111. If life is in danger - 112 or the nearest hospital emergency department.

How many meetings does crisis intervention involve?▼

Usually from one to a few. The aim is stabilisation, regaining a sense of safety and setting a plan for further help, not long-term personal work - that can be started later.

Is crisis intervention the same as psychotherapy?▼

No. It is short-term help in an acute situation: after the death of a loved one, an experience of violence, an accident, a sudden breakdown. Psychotherapy is a process that requires stabilisation first.
