kriisikeskusten
Kriisikeskukset are services designed to provide immediate, short‑term support to individuals experiencing acute distress, danger, or crisis.

The aim is to stabilize the situation, assess needs, ensure safety, and connect the person to longer‑term care and social support. Access is often available 24/7 and regardless of background or documentation status, depending on the system.
