Remarks

 

1. Regarding Drop-in services - the centre is maintained from other HESEDs team who work with Roma people. It is based in the Roma neighbourhood.

2. Cultural mediators are used only in projects relevant to Roma problems up to now.

3. Main part of members of organization is consisted of psychologists but we do not offer such kind of service. We offer health and social counselling but if it is needed we have a capacity to provide psychological help.

4. Advocacy - especially on institutional level.
