What Středisko Výchovné Péče Pro Děti a Mládež does

Diagnostický ústav a Středisko výchovné péče (DÚ a SVP) is a Czech state-funded educational and child-welfare institution established and funded by the Ministry of Education, Youth and Sports (Ministerstvo školství, mládeže a tělovýchovy). It operates two integrated service lines: a Diagnostic Institute providing residential diagnostic and therapeutic care for adolescent girls aged 13–18 in difficult life situations, and two Educational Care Centers (SVP Modřany and SVP Příbram) offering outpatient counseling, voluntary residential programs for children aged 3–18, and family support. The Diagnostic Institute is structured around three progressive departments (A, B, C) for stabilization and reintegration, plus three specialized detached programs: Cesta Řevnice (educational-therapeutic), Sulická (addiction support), and Department M (underage mothers with children). SVP Modřany operates a 6–8 week voluntary residential program for ages 12–16 alongside outpatient services.

The core methodology is a trauma-informed, holistic clinical approach combining individual psychotherapy, group dynamics, family counseling, educational therapy, and addictology, delivered by a multidisciplinary team of psychologists, social workers, special educators, and psychiatrists. Intake occurs through OSPOD (Social and Legal Protection of Children) referrals, court orders, school recommendations, and direct family inquiries; the Diagnostic Institute has statutory authority for court-ordered assessments. Adjacent offerings include parent groups, peer groups for children, methodological consultations for teachers, the 'Bez Obav' anxiety program (with the National Institute for Mental Health), and the 'Cestou sdílení' community outings (with the Town of Příbram).

The institution operates three facilities (Praha 4-Hodkovičky headquarters, Praha 12-Modřany, and Příbram) under Director PaedDr. Jan Toman. Services at SVP are provided free of charge; Diagnostic Institute stays require a nominal parental contribution of ~1,742 CZK/month under Government Regulation No. 460/2013 Coll. All operating revenue derives from state budgetary allocations and EU operational programme funding (Jan Amos Komenský). The entity is government-owned with no private capital, M&A activity, or funding rounds.
