Answer a survey on violence in close relationships

We are conducting a survey on the experiences of violence in close relationships among Helsinki residents aged 18 and over. You can respond to the survey anonymously until 9 October 2026. Every response helps us develop services and strengthen support for all those affected by violence and their loved ones.

Discussion support for parents during a separation

We offer free-of-charge and confidential support for parents going through a separation.

Helsinki-based parents who have separated, are considering a separation or are going through a separation process may receive short-term and unbiased professional discussion support from our social instructors.

In the one to three meetings with the workers, you can talk in confidence about themes important to you, including those you do not wish to discuss with the other parent. We will review your situation together and consider how you could process your separation experience and reinforce your own capabilities for building a good co-parenting relationship. In our discussions, we will also always consider the children's position during these changes in the family.

The service is free, voluntary and confidential. We can meet face-to-face, on the phone or via a video connection - your situation and your wishes will determine how the service is implemented.

You do not need to have other client relationships to have access to this form of support. However, the discussion support can also supplement other services you receive.

We have a callback service in use

You can call the callback service for the discussion support for parents during a separation on Mondays and Wednesdays between 9–10 by leaving us a callback request.

Call + 358 (0)9 310 01106(Link starts a phone call)

We will do our best to contact you within the next five working days. We will attempt to reach you twice after your callback request.
