Remedium Praha

What Remedium Praha does

Remedium Praha (legal name: REMEDIUM Praha občanské sdružení) is a Prague-based non-profit civic association founded in 1991 that operates across three interconnected service pillars. The first pillar, educational programs for helping professions, delivers accredited crisis-intervention training (face-to-face, telephone, and chat formats), supervision training co-developed with the Evangelical Theological Faculty and accredited by EASC, and self-experience psychotherapeutic training; these programs are delivered in person at the Křišťanova 15 headquarters and reach social workers nationwide through ESF OPLZZ funding. The second pillar, the Občanská poradna (Citizens' Advisory), provides free, confidential, and impartial counseling on housing, family law, labor law, consumer protection, and administrative matters at four physical locations (Prague 3, Prague 9, Prague 14, and Beroun) plus telephone and electronic channels, and is a member of the Association of Civic Counseling Offices (AOP).

The third pillar comprises community programs, including Klub REMEDIUM (a registered social-services senior center under Act No. 108/2006 Coll. offering exercise, computer training, language courses, and excursions), the Center for NGO Cooperation in Prague 3, and the Še3sil coalition (14-16 member NGOs). Ancillary digital assets include the Dluhový labyrint debt-information portal, a directory of 125 crisis psychosocial services across 43 Czech cities, and a searchable directory of supervisors.

Remedium's revenue model is grant-driven rather than commercial. The majority of operating funds come from Czech ministries (Industry and Trade, Regional Development), EU Structural Funds (ESF OPLZZ), Prague City Hall, and the Prague 3 Municipal District, supplemented by corporate donations (ČSOB, Albert Foundation, ALBI, INOVATIKA) and individual giving via the Darujme.cz platform. End users receive services either free of charge (civic counseling, ESF-funded training, school seminars) or at subsidized fees (senior programs). The organization employs 101-250 staff and is governed by a director (Zuzana Nováková) with a supervisory board chaired by Daniela Brůhová, and it does not have parent, subsidiary, or equity-financing relationships.

Others

• Asociace občanských poraden (AOP): National association of civic counseling offices that Remedium belongs to since 2000. Not a service-delivery competitor but the standards-setting membership body whose quality audits and binding documents govern Remedium's Občanská poradna service line.

Direct peers

• Armáda spásy v České republice: Salvation Army in Czech Republic providing social services, rehabilitation, crisis support, and community programs. Direct peer with similar psychosocial service portfolio and comparable target populations, including vulnerable adults and those in crisis.
• Diakonie ČCE: Diaconal organization of the Evangelical Church of Czech Brethren providing social services, accredited training, and psychosocial support across Czech Republic. Most directly comparable peer in scope, accreditation standards, and service delivery model, including education, counseling, and community programs.
• Naděje: Czech nonprofit providing social services to vulnerable populations including the homeless, elderly, and people in crisis. Direct peer with overlapping psychosocial support mission, similar organizational scale, and comparable community-based service delivery.

Emerging players

• Elpida: Czech nonprofit focused on active aging, senior programs, and intergenerational activities. Closely comparable in senior-focused programming to Remedium's Klub REMEDIUM, though operating as a smaller, more focused player in the same audience segment.

Broad incumbents
