Professional assistance
The people who work at Guiami are trained professionals who use a strict protocol to gain an insight into reports. They serve as the front-office, so to speak. They provide advice and support to victims, perpetrators, family, bystanders, and professionals in all cases of domestic violence or child abuse.
The provided advice, assistance, or support is determined by the nature of the report. This is sometimes delivered in cooperation with various aid organisations on the island. This means it is possible to offer tailor-made support.
