Online counselling and intervention in the Czech Republic
Original language description
Online counselling and crisis intervention are a low-threshold, anonymous and physically easily accessible alternative to face-to-face aid. Although the communication potential of the Internet restricts the aiding process to a large degree and online communication is not as lively as a personal contact, the current offer of such services on the Internet in the Czech Republic meets the real needs of certain groups of clients. Online crisis intervention, unlike counselling, still goes through a process of its self-defining, however there have been evident signs of its professionalisation. Both forms of aid can be considered as a trend that suitably extends and supplements other services, especially if their providers are able to reflect and take into consideration not only their own strong points, but also their limitations. Albeit none of the discussed forms of intervention is able to substitute personal contact, the above-mentioned types of long-distance aid appear to be meaningful for certain groups of clients and less serious forms of crisis - either as a self-contained process or a process mediating follow-up care. The meaningfulness of such services is after all demonstrated through their actual utilisation by clients.
