On Wednesday, in one of our Návrat centers we have three families with children - heroes on the "plan".
They experienced many traumatic events (rejection, abandonment, neglect ...) at a very early and most vulnerable age (prenatal, postpartum, the first month of life). Nevertheless, they try hard in order to anchor new relationships and they bravely endure the presence of "ghosts from the past."
The youngest of the children is two years and her name is Janka. Spooks come to her not only at night but also during minor changes in her life. She cries and screams often. The oldest of them is 14 and his name is Jakub. He is often frightened when someone wants to approach him. Instead of asking for help, he screams at everyone, steals and lie.
And then there are adults that love them, but ... how to love a child who behaves like this? How to help him to live among us, to be safe, and that we all be safe around? How do you make sure when there is so much doubt?
And that is why we are there. With them. Because they live in villages in different parts of Slovakia, but in principle, far from professional help. We travel to various destinations and help them as consultants and therapists at their homes. Because many years ago, we decided to make the most of our services and make them available to everyone. We can do so thanks to the people who support us.
Thank You, that You are one of them!
