Description

Since March 30 of 2020 year, the “Reception office for Victims of Domestic Violence” at the University multiprofile hospital “Pirogov”has been providing consultations remotely at the “Psychological 24-hour crisis service line” – 0700 40 150.
The uniqueness of the Reception consists in the fact that three professionals, a doctor, a psychologist or a social worker and a police officer, can provide help in one place. With the end of the state of emergency/lockdown on 2020, the Reception office is returning to normal working hours every weekday from 09:00 to 17:00, but will keep the 24-hour line because the team sees the benefits of it. It is a convenient option for older people who do not have the necessary technical knowledge, devices or access to the Internet, as well as for people outside Sofia.
