WHAT IS OUR MISSION?

Started as a group of volunteers in 1984 and firmly established since 1991, Společnost Podané ruce, o.p.s., pioneered in bringing and testing new trends, providing versatile support and efficient help to people to get free of addictions or overcome difficult situations that prevent them from living a full-value life and from participating in the society.

Our mission is to help our clients towards the long-term sustainable quality of life, healthier lifestyle and personal contentment, through preventative, supportive and interventional services. We strive to play a part in the protection of public health and the prevention of addictions by developing the judgement-free environment.

Our vision is to support and promote humanistic ideas, protect human rights, to help to create a space for respect and tolerance and to contribute to the development of civil society.
