Mental health care is a complex system that contains multiple areas.\u00a0<\/p>\n

And\u00a0 sometimes it may be difficult to know who is who. In the following articles, we will give you an overview of the services available and describe the differences between them. Articles are translated from czech and refer to czech mental health system. It may differ from health care in different countries.\u00a0<\/p>\n

First of all, we\u2019d like to mention crisis centres and helplines that are appropriate for people with or without mental illness who are in a difficult life situation.\u00a0 In subsequent posts we will focus on the shorter-term care of counselling psychologists and the specialised \u00a0 work of school psychologists. Clinical psychology and psychiatry will be approached for clients with particularly severe difficulties and mental illness. At the end of this series, we will describe longer-term psychotherapeutic care, which is suitable as a tool for self-knowledge and self-development on the one hand, and as a treatment with psychotherapeutic tools for people with mental illness on the other.<\/p>\n

In case of sudden or acute difficulties that life brings us, crisis lines and crisis intervention centres are the first choice. These services are usually free and operate 24 hours a day. Crisis lines or centres can be used by anyone who feels that he cannot handle his current situation.\u00a0<\/p>\n

For example, it may be relationship difficulties, problems with a team at school or work, domestic violence, coping with crime or accidents. It also includes situations where there may be overwhelming symptoms of various psychological or even somatic problems or illnesses. Crisis lines can be contacted through day and night if you are having suicidal thoughts or plans. These contacts can also be used by people who are feeling lonely and need to sort out their thoughts.\u00a0 Some crisis lines may also target a specific group of people, for example seniors or new mothers.\u00a0<\/p>\n

In the event that you do not know which agency to contact, don\u2019t be afraid to ask the counsellors for recommendations of other contacts to direct you!<\/p>\n

Here we provide you with a list of crisis lines depending on the country in which they operate.\u00a0<\/p>\n
