January sees the launch of the BŘÍZA: Mental Resilience Programme

4. 12. 2025

In DPS Ondřejov from January 2026, a new run of the therapeutic programme Bříza, aimed at supporting psychological resilience in people with psychotic illnesses, starts. The programme will be led by new therapists - Mgr. Miroslav Živnůstka and Mgr. Vendula Cígnerová.

Everyday life brings challenging situations and periods of increased stress. For people who are being treated for a psychotic illness, stressful stimuli can lead to a return of symptoms - a so-called relapse. This can cause difficulties in normal functioning or lead to hospitalisation.

The Birch therefore offers a safe space where participants learn to strengthen their inner resources, better manage stress and prevent relapse.

"The program teaches how to stand firm, even when strong winds are blowing around. It offers skills to help withstand stress and find inner balance again."
- Mgr. Miroslav Živnůstka and Mgr. Vendula Cígnerová, programme leader
