Many Children Seek Help from Hope For Children

The organization Hope For Children reports an increased number of calls from children in need of assistance. These children face various difficulties, including abuse, neglect, restriction of their freedom, and fear of speaking about what is happening at home. The organization emphasizes that many children continue to love their families despite the challenging circumstances. Hope For Children provides 24-hour helplines, counseling centers, and shelters to support children in need. Through these services, the organization comes into contact with the reality of children, which often remains invisible. The organization has supported children who had to be removed from their homes for safety reasons, girls who suffered sexual abuse, boys who fell victim to cyberbullying, and children seeking solutions to overcome difficult experiences. It remains available 24 hours a day to offer support and guidance. The key services of Hope For Children include the House of the Child for victims of sexual abuse, Counseling Center, Foster Family Program, Beat Bullying Program, European Programs, Houses of Hope, and Non-Formal Learning Workshops. The helplines are 1466 (National Helpline), 116000 (European Hotline for Missing Children), and 116111 (European Line for Children & Adolescents).
